ultranerds has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi,
I'm currently battling with a REALLY frustrating bug with nginx and Apache 2.4 (as a proxy). We serve all the main content up with nginx, and then pass the Perl stuff to Apache, so we can make use of mod_perl. The problem is I'm having all kinds of issues with Apache gobbling up tons of CPU:
http://serverfault.com/questions/841786/apache-2-4-cpu-running-at-100-for-unknown-reason
So this has me asking.. do I need Apache?
Does anyone have input on the best way to run Perl scripts on a server with nginx? Is it better as:
1) nginx, with reverse proxy to Apache (where we have mod_perl setup)
OR
2) nginx, and using FastCGI to serve them up, like: https://www.linode.com/docs/websites/nginx/nginx-and-perlfastcgi-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin -ie don't even bother with Apache2 (this would remove the headache of having 2 systems running as well then!)
I just wanted to get a 2nd opinion from "the monks" before I started trying out the FastCGI option, as I've already spent far too much time on this :(
UPDATE: I thought I would just give it a quick test, and it does seem FastCGI with nginx is pretty slow :(
Exactly the same script:
704ms Apache2 with mod_perl
1144ms nginx with fastCGI
Thanks!
Andy
