in short: 1. yes, it works without it. if you dig deep enough at code.djangoproject.com, i think you can find some kind of fcgi.py which is afaik a stripped-down flup, or something like that. 2. the servage.net's answer is stupid :) ok, basically: your web-server (apache1.x in this case) speaks fastcgi, and django speaks wsgi. now you need something that translates between them. that's what flup does. but, flup actually is not a service/daemon. it's simply a library. the same way how you have to put the django source code on the server, you also have to put the flup source code on the server. but they are simply running together. for example, this is a simple python script, that acts as a fastcgi server using django: ====================================== from flup.server.fcgi_fork import WSGIServer from django.core.handlers.wsgi import WSGIHandler os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'cms.settings' WSGIServer(WSGIHandler()).run() ====================================== as you see, the flup library is nothing special. it's just a library. about flup's high memory usage... depending on the process/thread-model, flup can spawn multiple fastcgi servers (the default is 6 i think). but there's nothing preventing you from configuring flup to only spawn 1. so, in other words: from the servage.net's point of view, they will never ever see that flup is running there. i hope this (chaotic) explanation helps. if not, replay :) gabor --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
