I am in the process of implementing a large scale PHP4/PHP5/ASP.NET (mono) hosting environment on Apache2. I currently have my PHP4 and PHP5 cgi’s compiled and have the running suexec. I recently setup the XSP server and mod_mono in attempt to get name based virtualhosting up and running for asp.net as well. Right now I’m at a point where I have the name based virtual hosts up and running with ASP.NET using unique mono_socket’s and .wapi directories per application (located in the users home directory). However these files are created/owned by apache right now, meaning that wherever they are located needs to have write permissions by apache (kinda iffy). My ultimate goal however, is to get this system up and running with all user code running as its corresponding user as to minimize administration issues (directory permissions etc) and to limit the scope of their application to their home directory (chroot). My currently setup for user accounts is using the JailChroot project so all users are chrooted to their home directories upon login of any sort. I have done the same with the suexec/cgi for php4 and php5. I would like to ultimately produce the same result with ASP.NET.
I spoke with someone lastnight in #mono that suggested running separate instances of the XSP server for each application I want to host, then proxying the requests for asp.net files with apache and mod_proxy to the appropriate XSP server (each would also have to be running on a different port). I realize that in this case, there would have to be a huge number of xsp servers running and I’d be curious about the resources needed by this. This just doesn’t seem very scalable to me. I realize I could break off my XSP servers to a privately accessible cluster but it seems like this would still make it hard to get some solid redundancy for this platform, seeing that the mod_proxy would be forwarding to a specific private IP. Anyone have any ideas on how to implement this sort of application server environment? Input of any sort would be much appreciated, -- Jesse _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
