.SH DESCRIPTION |
|
|
|
|
\fIspawn-fcgi\fP is used to spawn remote FastCGI processes (but may be used |
|
|
|
|
for local processes, too). |
|
|
|
|
. |
|
|
|
|
\fIspawn-fcgi\fP is used to spawn remote and local FastCGI processes. |
|
|
|
|
.P |
|
|
|
|
While it is obviously needed to spawn remote FastCGI backends (the webserver |
|
|
|
|
can only spawnn local ones), it is recommended to spawn local backends |
|
|
|
|
with spawn-fcgi, too. |
|
|
|
|
.P |
|
|
|
|
Reasons why you may want to use spawn-fcgi instead of something else: |
|
|
|
|
.IP * 3 |
|
|
|
|
Privilege separation without needing a suid-binary or running a server as root. |
|
|
|
|
.IP * 3 |
|
|
|
|
You can restart your webserver and the FastCGI applications without restarting the others. |
|
|
|
|
.IP * 3 |
|
|
|
|
You can run them in different chroot()s. |
|
|
|
|
.IP * 3 |
|
|
|
|
Running your FastCGI applications doesn't depend on the webserver you are running, |
|
|
|
|
which allows for easier testing of other webservers. |
