Description
-----------
spawn-fcgi prepares the environment for fastcgi applications; it opens a
socket (tcp / unix-domain) on filedescriptor 0, changes uid/gid for process
and unix-domain socket, closes STDIN/STDOUT, ...
Based on spawn-fcgi 1.x from http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/spawn-fcgi/wiki,
rewritten, added some extra features:
* use /etc/security/limits.conf for limits
(The other features were backported to the original spawn-fcgi. Unless you
really need this feature it is recommended to stay with the original,
maintained version.)
Includes modified code from the `Linux-PAM <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/>`_
project for the limits.
Usage
-----
Examples for daemontools or runit (with lighttpd on debian):
* for php5::
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
exec /usr/bin/spawn-fcgi -s /var/run/lighttpd/php-webuser.sock -n -u webuser -U www-data -l -- /usr/bin/php5-cgi
* for turbogears::
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
cd /var/www/tgapp
exec /usr/bin/spawn-fcgi -s /var/run/lighttpd/tgapp.sock -n -u tg-user -U www-data -- /var/www/tg-app/start-tgapp-fcgi.py prod.cfg
* ``/var/www/tg-app/start-tgapp-fcgi.py``::
#!/usr/bin/env python
import pkg_resources
import cherrypy
import sys
cherrypy.lowercase_api = True
pkg_resources.require("TurboGears")
from cherrypy._cpwsgi import wsgiApp
from flup.server.fcgi import WSGIServer
from os.path import *
import turbogears
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
configfile = sys.argv[1]
elif exists(join(dirname(__file__), "setup.py")):
configfile = "dev.cfg"
else:
configfile = "prod.cfg"
turbogears.update_config(configfile=configfile, modulename="tgapp.config")
from tgapp.controllers import Root
cherrypy.root = Root()
cherrypy.server.start(initOnly=True, serverClass=None)
WSGIServer(application=wsgiApp).run()
