Re: Time to write a "serious" http server in Perl?

in reply to Time to write a "serious" http server in Perl?

Why would I ask? Well, if you have ever managed IIS before then you know that it has the ability to stop/start individual websites without stopping/starting all other websites in the process.

How what IIS does different from a graceful reload?

My very first thought, odd that it appeared so far down the list! Further more, combined with the sites-enabled structure it becomes trivial to turn of a single virtual host for extended periods. I think perhaps the OP is not as familiar with apache as some would have us think. Confucius says kill mosquito unless cannon	[reply]

Yes, I was going to mention a2ensite/a2dissite, but I don't know how far those have leached out into the non-debian world. -- Online Fortune Cookie Search Office Space merchandise	[reply]

A graceful reload won't actually restart the perl interpreter in mod_perl. It would work fine for CGI of course.	[reply]

I suppose it depends on why you're doing it. If you were doing it to upgrade your code, it won't work for mod_perl. If you just want to take a site off the air, it should work.	[reply]
