Asp Forum - Is mod_fastcgi really required for Ruby/Apache 2?

(D. Alvarado)

Hi,

I'm trying to install the latest version of Ruby to work with a
just-newly installed Apache 2.2 module on my x86 Fedora Core 5 Linux
machine. I read
(http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/Rai...) that
mod_fastcgi is required, but when I download, copy the appropriate
Makefile and try to make, I get errors (see below if you're really
interested). I also notice that the latest version of mod_fastcgi is
dated 2004. Is this truly required or can I skip this step?

Thanks, - Dave

mod_fastcgi isn't *strictly* needed, but it is worth the speedup. You
can use CGI instead, but not meant for production usage. There are other
options such as lightppd, mongrel, etc, but I'll let others with more
experience in that area address that.

I on the otherhand do us mod_fastcgi on an apache 2.0 system for
production and I also use an apache 2.2 system as my local testing
system (and Webrick occasionally too)

Now as to your error, try adding the following to your make file:

-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE

I don't know the entire story on this other than there is a 64/32 bit
issue with the size of a datatype in C that is referenced in the apr.h
file. I could be wrong on the fix, but it looks like the same one I was
getting for a different project.

mod_fastcgi has a *lot* of issues that can trip you up, including long-
running processes becoming zombies and enigmatic IPC timeouts. Since
you're running on apache 2, I recommend mod_fcgid instead. Much more
stable.

Thanks for your reply, but that directive was already in the make
execution ...

[root@localhost mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0404142202]# cp Makefile.AP2 Makefile
[root@localhost mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0404142202]# make
/usr/lib/apr-1/build/libtool --silent --mode=compile gcc -pthread
-DLINUX=2 -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
-I/usr/local/apache2/include -I. -I/usr/include/apr-1 -I/usr/include
-I/usr/kerberos/include -prefer-pic -c mod_fastcgi.c && touch
mod_fastcgi.slo

(I just cut and paste the first few lines from my original post). -

You can use an application server like mongrel and just use
mod_proxy(_balancer) if you like. I tend to prefer this to faffing
about with FastCGI application managers or fcgi.rb hacks to support
external servers.

Apache 2.2 drops the ap_* functions (or rather, the mapping of ap_* to
apr_*). You can either replace them with the appropriate apr functions,
or use this patch:

http://fastcgi.com/archives/fastcgi-developers/2005-December/0...

Which pretty much does the same thing.

Australia's culpability in East Timor's genocide
------------------------------------------------
http://www.pcug.org.au/~wildwood/ear...
"Australian governments all sought to influence the destiny of East
Timor. This destiny became one of the longest ongoing acts of genocide
since the European Holocaust of the Second World War. I am reminded of
the French Vichy Government of that war which supplied and organised
the freight train convoys that carried persecuted Jews to the Nazi
ovens. Canberra's warts-and-all allegiance with Jakarta; the almost $2
billion in bilateral aid; the million of dollars in military gifts,
defence training and defence co-operation; and the political lobbying
in the international arena for Jakarta's position, all helped to
create a similar cattlewagon, transporting the East Timorese to their
diabolical fate." Jim Aubrey, editor, 'Free East Timor: Australia's
culpability in East Timor's genocide'.

"The second consequence of British settlement was
appropriation of land and water resources. The combination
of disease, loss of land and direct violence reduced the
Aboriginal population by up to 80% between 1788 and 1900.
A wave of massacres and resistance followed the frontier
of British settlement. By the 1870s all the fertile areas
of Australia had been appropriated, and Indigenous communities
reduced to impoverished remnants living either on the fringes
of Australian communities or on lands considered unsuitable
for settlement".
