[dancer-users] apache2 and fastcgi

[CHONG Yu Meng]

Hi Scott,

I had a lot of trouble setting up FastCGI for Dancer2 previously. Are you using mod_fcgid or mod_fastcgi, and besides the Apache configuration, was there any other configuration you needed to do? Thanks in advance for your help!

Okay, nvm carry on everyone. I was missing a module that was showing up in my apache2 error.log but i was checking my millard-error.log...modifying my cpanfile to fix that for future pushes. Doh.

I usually use the apache2 plack handler but from what I understand you cant do that if you plan on using apache for more then 1 dancer site.

Im running into an issue with setting up fast cgi.

I first had to chmod +x dispatch.fcgi so it would execute. I then set apache2 to do prefork rather then event mpm. chowned www-data user to own the dancer2 folder, Now I am getting those errors.

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Dancer2/lib/Dancer2/Manual/Deployment.pod#As_a_FastCGI_script

I followed that guide but it doesnt seem to work. I went with mod_fastcgi.

This is on ubuntu 16.04.x LTS.

Worst case is i setup starman and proxy it but i dont really want to do that this time. What am i missing?
