DESCRIPTION

This module handles multiple FCGI::Engine instances for you, it can start, stop and provide basic status info. It is configurable using Config::Any, but only really the YAML format has been tested.

Use with Catalyst

Since FCGI::Engine is pretty much compatible with Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI, this module can also be used to manage your Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI based apps as well as your FCGI::Engine based apps.

Use with Plack

Plack support is provided via the FCGI::Engine::Manager::Server::Plackup module. All that is required is setting the "server_class" parameter in the configuarion and it will Just Work.

EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION

Here is an example configuration in YAML, it should be noted that the options for each server are basically the constructor params to FCGI::Engine::Manager::Server and are passed verbatim to it. This means that if you subclass FCGI::Engine::Manager::Server and set the "server_class:" option appropriately, it should pass any new options you added to your subclass automatically. The third server in the list shows exactly how this is used with a Plack application.
