new server testing, stage 2
by River Tarnell 30 Aug '08

30 Aug '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, previously i announced that users could test the new web server using toolserver.org:81 URLs. it's now possible, on a per-user basis, to enable this for normal URLs, i.e. <http://toolserver.org/~jsmith/>. if you would like this enabled for your account, please find me on IRC, or open a ticket in the JIRA Toolserver project[0]. i've written some documentation at [1] about converting existing .htaccess files to the new format. you'll probably want to test this using the :81 URL before you ask for a changeover. this will probably be of interest to people who've been having issues with long-running PHP scripts recently, although bear in mind it's only a temporary solution for the moment, as we haven't decided whether to change server yet. - river.

non-PHP FastCGI now available on hemlock
by River Tarnell 16 Aug '08

16 Aug '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, it is now possible to run FastCGI programs in languages other than PHP (for example, Perl or Python) on hemlock. to do this, simply create a standard FastCGI application, and name it whatever.fcgi. the program does not need to be inside cgi-bin. for an example, see /home/river/public_html/test.fcgi and <http://toolserver.org/~river/test.fcgi?foo>. converting your programs to FastCGI will make them faster, and also reduce the load on hemlock. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (SunOS) iEYEARECAAYFAkimqf4ACgkQIXd7fCuc5vIPRgCgukXb8SDcSrSmEXnlYqfRhA8E PfcAmwaIQ0YP7tmcvfAxs/JfCHmQTTyw =aJzV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
