Hi, I run gimp and mod_perl on a production server and trigger longer jobs using the 'at' command so as not to keep users hanging around for a result. Some of the runs can generate upwards of 1,000 or so images, so the connections were timing out long before the job ever ended. For shorter jobs,

You're right. Keeping a running Gimp daemon in memory would most certainly speed things up (for subsequent calls) I recall the python tutorial has some sample code on writing simple servers in python (so, the python code is already available, therefore I'd guess it's probably just a matter of impo

I haven't tried mod_wsgi yet, so I'm doing it using mod_python. (I don't see a compelling reason to dump mod_python yet, not to mention the learning curve and potential time-cost to convert my scripts from mod_py to mod_wsgi - I don't really know if there are any, just guessing here...) Invoking G

i consider myself pretty well versed with efficiency based upon server performance and apache conforms for me pretty well in plugging in modules to suite my needs and users demands. But I just don't see how you can use Common Gateway Interfacing for this task. I found your thread through a search e

Thanks for the hints ... Some interesting developments while running under sudo. The first run: - sudo -u www-data gimp --no-interface --batch='(python-fu-pdf2jpg RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "/dd/d/app/front/PAK_live/srvr/xformx.com/run/pdf_forms/le-50.0.11.01(2008-10)d8.pdf" )'

Hello, I've been trying to debug invoking my gimp plug-in from an apache module for past 3 days without much success. I'm sure others tried the same, but Google didn't help much in finding these gems, so far. So maybe a fresh pair of eyeballs may have other ideas ... Ok, basically, I have a pytho
