NAME

6       Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::FastCGI - Deploying Catalyst with FastCGI
7

FastCGI Deployment

9       FastCGI is a high-performance extension to CGI. It is suitable for
10       production environments, and is the standard method for deploying
11       Catalyst in shared hosting environments.
12
13   Pros
14       Speed
15
16       FastCGI performs equally as well as mod_perl.  Don't let the 'CGI' fool
17       you; your app runs as multiple persistent processes ready to receive
18       connections from the web server.
19
20       App Server
21
22       When using external FastCGI servers, your application runs as a
23       standalone application server.  It may be restarted independently from
24       the web server.  This allows for a more robust environment and faster
25       reload times when pushing new app changes.  The frontend server can
26       even be configured to display a friendly "down for maintenance" page
27       while the application is restarting.
28
29       Load-balancing
30
31       You can launch your application on multiple backend servers and allow
32       the frontend web server to perform load-balancing among all of them.
33       And of course, if one goes down, your app continues to run.
34
35       Multiple versions of the same app
36
37       Each FastCGI application is a separate process, so you can run
38       different versions of the same app on a single server.
39
40       Can run with threaded Apache
41
42       Since your app is not running inside of Apache, the faster mpm_worker
43       module can be used without worrying about the thread safety of your
44       application.
45
46       Widely supported.
47
48       FastCGI is compatible with many server implementations, not just
49       Apache.
50
51   Cons
52       You may have to disable mod_deflate.  If you experience page hangs with
53       mod_fastcgi then remove deflate.load and deflate.conf from
54       mods-enabled/
55
56       More complex environment
57
58       With FastCGI, there are more things to monitor and more processes
59       running than when using mod_perl.
60
61   Standalone FastCGI Server
62       In server mode the application runs as a standalone server and accepts
63       connections from a web server.  The application can be on the same
64       machine as the web server, on a remote machine, or even on multiple
65       remote machines.  Advantages of this method include running the
66       Catalyst application as a different user than the web server, and the
67       ability to set up a scalable server farm.
68
69       To start your application in server mode, install the FCGI::ProcManager
70       module and then use the included fastcgi.pl script.
71
72           $ script/myapp_fastcgi.pl -l /tmp/myapp.socket -n 5
73
74       Command line options for fastcgi.pl include:
75
76           -d -daemon     Daemonize the server.
77           -p -pidfile    Write a pidfile with the pid of the process manager.
78           -l -listen     Listen on a socket path, hostname:port, or :port.
79           -n -nproc      The number of processes started to handle requests.
80
81       See below for the specific web server configurations for using the
82       external server.
83

WEB SERVERS

85       Any web server which supports FastCGI should work with Catalyst.
86       Configuration recipes for well-known web servers are linked below, and
87       we would welcome contributions from people deploying Catalyst on other
88       web servers.
