I'm trying to use Network.FastCGI with Apache2, but running into an error.
I'd like to believe that the web server is configured correctly, because I
can successfully view the following, compiled to <web
root>/fastcgi/test.fcgi:
#include <fcgi_stdio.h>
int main(void){
int count = 0;
while(FCGI_Accept()>=0){
printf("Content-Type: text/html\r\n");
printf("\r\n");
printf("Hello, World: %d", count++);
}
return 0;
}
Now I compile Fcgi.hs to <web root>/fastcgi/test2.fcgi:
import Control.Concurrent
import Network.FastCGI
action :: CGI CGIResult
action = do
setHeader "Content-type" "text/plain"
tid <- liftIO myThreadId
output $ unlines
[ "I am a FastCGI process!"
, "Hear me roar!"
, ""
, show tid
]
main = runFastCGIConcurrent' forkIO 10 action
When I view localhost/fastcgi/test.fcgi, I get the hello world page, but
attempting to view test2.fcgi shows an 'Internal Server Error" in firefox.
The apache error log says:

I've tried Fcgi.hs with two different sample FastCGI programs with the same

Hi,
I tried the bang patterns, it seems to force evaluation enough in most
cases to triger the "trace" call.
Thanks a lot,

Ha, I would never have arrived at that solution in a million years on my own,
but now that you show me, it makes perfect sense!
Following the discussion of ZipLists from
http://learnyouahaskell.com/functors-applicative-functors-and-monoids, my
initial solution attempt was
pure x = Node x (repeat x)
but that doesn't even compile. I had suspected that I needed to make the pure
tree "go down", but I couldn't see how to do it.
OK, some follow-on questions if I may ...
sequenceA [Tree a] now returns Tree [a], as indicated.
Now, I'd also like sequenceA Tree [a] to return [Tree a]. To do that, I need
to
make Tree an instance of Traversable and, hence, Foldable.
Here's my stab at doing that ...
instance Foldable Tree where
foldMap f (Node cargo subtrees) = f cargo `mappend` foldMap (foldMap f)
subtrees
instance Traversable Tree where
traverse f (Node cargo subtrees) = Node <$> f cargo <*> traverse (traverse
f) subtrees
The Foldable code appears to be correct; at least, I can the fold the trees.
"Foldable" also allows the toList Tree a to work as expected.
Given that, I don't really "get" Traversable, and the code here is just my best
guess as to what it should be. But, I think it must not
be correct, because sequenceA Tree [a] is not returning what I think it should
be returning (ie [Tree a]).
Aside from this, what other things can I do with a Traversable Tree? My
intuition suggests I might be able to do Scan's on a tree, say
calculate a cumulative sums Tree from root to leaves (or vice versa). But I've
no idea how to implement that using it's "Traversability".
As of now, I have implemented this up-and-down scanning thusly ...
treeScanDown :: (a -> b -> a) -> a -> Tree b -> Tree a
treeScanDown f x (Node y subtrees) = Node g (fmap (treeScanDown f g) subtrees)
where g = f x y
treeScanUp :: (a -> [a] -> a) -> Tree a -> Tree a
treeScanUp f (Node x []) = Node x []
treeScanUp f (Node x subtrees) = Node (f x (fmap fromNode g)) g
where g = fmap (treeScanUp f) subtrees
thanks again,
travis

...
For anyone new to using [Haskell + Gtk2Hs + MS Windows], who, like me,
is inclined to try to statically link the Windows binary (as I
described in this thread), I've done some more research and came
across this post:
Re: [Gtk2hs-users] Making a static Windows executable with gtk2hs
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1254152484.4588.632.camel%40localhost
The gist is that, as desirable as it might seem to try to do so, it's
just not a good idea, and things are going to work better overall
relying on the DLLs.
In the past, I had not noticed that
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk2hs/ had a mailing list
associated with it. I'm glad I found it.
(and if this "don't statically link Windows Gtk2Hs binaries" advice is
no longer current, please post. Thanks.)
Hope this helps,

Hi,
I am going through the OpenGL tutorial 1
(http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/OpenGLTutorial1)
The first example program in chapter 2 works if I compile it and run it, but I
don't understand all of it so I am playing with bits of it in ghci. Look what
happens:
GHCi, version 6.10.4: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help
Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
Loading package integer ... linking ... done.
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Prelude> let myPoints = map (\k -> (sin(2*pi*k/12),cos(2*pi*k/12),0.0)) [1..12]

Any ideas?

AFAIK, that should never happen. The expression looks sane, too, so I
guess it's a bug in GHCi. 6.10.4 is not the latest stable version of
GHC, so you might want to update it.
