Running Happstack applications using FastCGI

You need to keep a couple things in mind when configuring a FastCGI Happstack application, especially when using Happstack-state.

There are several ways to let Apache + FastCGI handle your application.

Dynamic

This is the easy way. You don't have to configure your server, but can just execute the scripts. FastCGI will spawn instances of your application if needed and kill them if they're not needed anymore. This might break working with Happstack-state!

Static

You explicitly need to configure your script in your host config. By default it will only start one process, on server startup. If you want to work with Happstack-state, this is the preferable way, although we have not exhaustively tested that it won't break. |
