Hello Dave,
I did try it yesterday and today and I think it is very interesting and we would like to add support for dancer.
That's awesome - I'll be happy to provide whatever help I can.
Thanks a lot. Is good to know that this could be useful :) I am slightly confused with the right way to sever through apache (without the reverse proxy) my understanding is that we need to install https://github.com/spiritloose/mod_psgi before configuring the vhost with PerlSetVar psgi_app /websites/myapp.example.com/app.pl Is this correct? I am asking as the files in the repo are 3 years old and there isn't a download package beside link the github download link ..
Is there a similar option with Dancer or there is a need to declare
the app name in the apache vhost configuration ?
You could probably set up e.g. /home/$username/app.pl or similar which they can edit, which loads the appropriate app; they could edit that to choose which app to load, perhaps?
Well perhaps in first instance it is easier to tell users to use app.pl for their app and then we can think about a smarter way to do it !
Certainly - the ability for a user to try out their first Dancer app for free without having to install stuff is likely to be of use to people I think. This is something I sort of toyed with the idea of trying to offer myself, but I decided I didn't have the time to implement it in a secure enough way and manage it closely enough to limit abuse etc (and to deal with the users, who from past experience will expect the moon on a stick, even though they're not paying a penny...)
I agree very much in the deal with users that expect the moon on a stick :) The system setup took a while and it should be working fine. We wont' be offering much support thou but of course simple guides and forums will be available.
I note you've got reCAPTCHA which should keep out some users though, as it's become almost unusable these days :)
yes well we will use something else for the hosting signup with a better CAPTCHA. I, for one, never get reCAPTCHA right ! Thanks in advance for letting me know about the mod_psgi Best Regards David
