I''m trying to understand how the lighttpd/fcgi/rails process works. It
seems like there are two ways to start lighttpd for:
1. script/server (only starts lighttpd if you have lighttpd in your $PATH,
otherwise starts webrick)
2. lighttpd -f /path/to/lighttpd.conf
It seems like #1 is for development and #2 is for production, but I
don''t
actually know what the difference between the two is. I think in either
case, somebody stop me if I''m wrong, there will be a lighttpd process
running and a ruby process running (which is rails). The lighttpd process
talks to the ruby process using fcgi. Is that correct? And is that also
the case with method #1?
In method #2, how does the ruby process get started? By lighttpd?
And for extra credit, how does it work if you use Apache/fcgi, same as #2?
Dave Thomas, if you''re listening, it would be great if the Deployment
section of AWDwR2 included this :)
