[Moosefs-users] standalone mfs cgi serv

[Laurent W. <lw...@hy...>]

Hi,

I'm in touch with the RPM maintainer about adding an init script for
mfscgiserv. He has concerns about its behaviour in a loaded env, and
he's wondering if it's a good idea to let it run for a long time as a
standalone, arguing that if it has to run all the time, you'd better
run it with apache (he provides a package especially for that).
What are your experiences with mfscgiserv ?

Thanks,

FWIW, I have the mfscgiserv running for almost four months (since April 20) 
without any issue on CentOS 5.5 x86_64.

This is of course in an internal network, only accessible from our NOC, but it 
might be nice to have it on public internet. For that you'd need some 
authorization mechanism and IMHO the rpm does the right thing.

That said, the init script could be chkconfig'ed off and the admin would 
choose the way to run the cgi, either through apache or standalone.

If the server already has apache / lighttpd for other websites it is reasonable to run CGI Monitor files on the existing server. On the other hand, we introduced mfscgiserv in case somebody doesn't have any other webserver. For sure mfscgiserv would need less resources than full apache. 

As far as I remember there is configure option for deciding if we want mfscgiserv. We leaving the choice to users in rpms.
