Re: [Cppcms-users] Some build questions

[Stanimir M. <sta...@zo...>]

Greet advices, thanks a lot!

The Virtual Private Server is a good choice if I was only a bit more
knowledgeable at Linux, so I will take the easiest way for now with
the embedded build of cppcms. Just asked my hosting company where
configuring the web server to run fast-cgi application is possible and
they responded negatively, even that they have Apache fastcgi-mod
installed.
Soon after getting more comfortable with Linux I will move to VPS.

I will keep you informed of the progress!

Greetings,
Stanimir
