NAME

       Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::lighttpd::FastCGI - Deploying Catalyst with lighttpd

Lighttpd
       These configurations were tested with Lighttpd 1.4.7.

   Standalone server mode
	   server.document-root = "/var/www/MyApp/root"

	   fastcgi.server = (
	       "" => (
		   "MyApp" => (
		       "socket"      => "/tmp/myapp.socket",
		       "check-local" => "disable"
		   )
	       )
	   )

   Static mode
	   server.document-root = "/var/www/MyApp/root"

	   fastcgi.server = (
	       "" => (
		   "MyApp" => (
		       "socket"       => "/tmp/myapp.socket",
		       "check-local"  => "disable",
		       "bin-path"     => "/var/www/MyApp/script/myapp_fastcgi.pl",
		       "min-procs"    => 2,
		       "max-procs"    => 5,
		       "idle-timeout" => 20
		   )
	       )
	   )

       Note that in newer versions of lighttpd, the min-procs and idle-timeout values are disabled.  The above example would start 5 processes.

   Non-root configuration
       You can also run your application at any non-root location with either of the above modes.  Note the required mod_rewrite rule.

	   url.rewrite = ( "myapp$" => "myapp/" )
	   fastcgi.server = (
	       "/myapp" => (
		   "MyApp" => (
		       # same as above
		   )
	       )
	   )

   Static file handling
       Static files can be served directly by lighttpd for a performance boost.

	  $HTTP["url"] !~ "^/(?:img/|static/|css/|favicon.ico$)" {
		fastcgi.server = (
		    "" => (
			"MyApp" => (
			    "socket"	   => "/tmp/myapp.socket",
			    "check-local"  => "disable",
			)
		    )
		)
	   }

       This will serve everything in the "img", "static", and "css" directories statically, as well as the favicon file.
