spawn-fcgi is used to spawn remote and local FastCGI processes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While it is obviously needed to spawn remote FastCGI backends (the web
|
||
|
|
server can only spawn local ones), it is recommended to spawn local
|
||
|
|
backends with spawn-fcgi, too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reasons why you may want to use spawn-fcgi instead of something else:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Privilege separation without needing a suid-binary or running a
|
||
|
|
server as root.
|
||
|
|
* You can restart your web server and the FastCGI applications without
|
||
|
|
restarting the others.
|
||
|
|
* You can run them in different chroot()s.
|
||
|
|
* Running your FastCGI applications doesn't depend on the web server
|
||
|
|
you are running, which allows for easier testing of other web
|
||
|
|
servers.
