MOD_FDSERV(1)

NAME
mod_fdserv - Apache module for persistent FramerD CGI servers

SYNOPSIS
LoadModule fdserv_module module_path /mod_fdserv.so AddHandler fdservlet .fdcgi This implements the fdservlet handler for creating persistent FramerD processes for handling CGI requests.

DESCRIPTION
mod_fdserv works with the Apache web server and the fdservlet executable to provide for persistent, multi-threaded (when available) responses to CGI requests. The mod_fdserv module is typically installed and configured in the webserver's httpd.conf file. In particular, the line: AddHandler fdservlet .fdcgi will declare that files with the suffix .fdcgi will be handled by mod_fdserv.

Configuration
The following configuration commands are available for use in httpd.conf or .htaccess files:

FDServletExecutable
    specifies the path to the fdservlet executable. If unspecified, it assumes /usr/bin/fdservlet. Note that this can only be configured on a per server/per virtual host basis.

FDServletThreads
    Indicates the number of threads the underlying server should start for responding to requests. The default is five threads.

FDServletPrefix
    Indicates the prefix to any sockets created by mod_fdserv and passed to fdservlet. It defaults to /tmp/fdserv

FDServletLogFile
    Specifies the file to which servlet's stdout and stderr will be redirected.

FDServletSocketFile
    Indicates the particular pathname to be used for the socket for a particular document or script. This does not make sense to specify for a particular directory.

BUGS
Doesn't work under WIN32 because of the lack of local (or "unix domain") sockets. Doesn't automatically restart when the servlet executable changes (requires a restart).
