[Cppcms-users] getting started..again

[Keith K. <kk...@gm...>]

Marcel, thanks for the reply, I had just joined the list and had settings
wrong so I didn't get your reply directly but found it in the digest
archive and have pasted it below..

Anyway, I can install programs in my home directory but I cannot directly
edit httpd.conf.  I can add apache handlers through a very basic interface,
it lets me give two arguments, through a config page with an "Addhandler"
form.  So I have successfully added a handler 'fastcgi-script' for .fcgi
extensions, but how do I test that for example with the hello_world app
that I've built ?  I haven't found any doc yet on running the example
programs that get built with cppcms.

thanks,

Keith

First: Can you compile and install apps? If not, it would be hard.
Second. Can you edit httpd.conf (or similar), so you can start cppcms as
fastcgi? If yes, this is something for you!

   Hello All,

   I was happy to find cppcms since I have some c++ background from a
   few years ago and would like to use it for some "cloud apps"
   potentially.  But I'm a little rusty ;-)

   The architecture doc says:

   # Architecture of CppCMS framework

   Application flow:

       - Several forked processes listen on the socket of cgi-like
   protocol: scgi, fcgi, http;
       - One of the processes accepts new connection and starts reading
   headers of the request.
   ...

   That implies to me that the process created with cppcms framework
   services the http request by itself, is that correct?

   I'm struggling a little with how to integrate cppcms with my hosting
   provider (bluehost.com <http://bluehost.com>)..  They provide apache
   on linux.  I have ssh access and can run processes within certain
   constraints, but I can't configure daemons or things like that where
   I control what listens on port 80.

   Can someone suggest the options to using cppcms with such a setup?
   I'm allowed to install custom handlers for my apache instance I
   think.. do you pass the request to cppcms that way or is there some
   other canonical way to use apache front end.

   thanks,

   Kape
