I recommend Starman over fastcgi. I never had an easy time with fastcgi, and when I finally gave starman a shot it was surprisingly painless, it was pretty easy to make an upstart job out of, and I can ditch mod_perl. I have no experience with lighthttpd, but with Apache a simple ProxyPass or ReWriteRule[P] is the only non-boilerplate directive needed.

I've decided to go with lighttpd / fastcgi as the web server. When running the server script (the project is named map, so it's the map_server.pl<http://map_server.pl> script), pages seem to come up just fine. However, when I start lighttpd, and run the map_fastcgi.pl<http://map_fastcgi.pl> script with the following command line: ./script/map_fastcgi.pl<http://map_fastcgi.pl> --listen 127.0.0.1:9000<http://127.0.0.1:9000> --nproc 5 --keeperr 2 It seems that only the index page of the site is served properly - any other link that I click on just results in a 404. So it seems that I am doing something wrong with fastcgi. Can anyone recommend what I need to do differently? For informational purposes - I run lighttpd with the following configuration file: server.document-root = "/home/mapper/artplot/root/" server.modules += ( "mod_fastcgi" ) server.port = 80 server.username = "mapper" server.groupname = "mapper" mimetype.assign = ( ".htm" => "text/html", ".html" => "text/html", ".txt" => "text/plain", ".jpg" => "image/jpeg", ".png" => "image/png" ) static-file.exclude-extensions = ( ".pm", ".pl", ".conf" ) fastcgi.server = ("" => (( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 9000, )) ) -- -- Main Number - (617) 752-1714 http://www.MyArtPlot.com All-in-one empowerment platform for the art industry and profession - complete with social, professional, and commercial power.
