moinmoin and litespeed fastcgi
 

Hi,

I'm trying to get moinmoin set up with litespeed fastcgi.

In the litespeed admin console, I added a fastcgi external
app pointed at moinmoin's moin.fcg, and an associated
context, basically following the instructions from
http://www.litespeedtech.com/support...ki:python_fcgi

After restarting litespeed, I get "500 Internal Server
Error" when I attempt to access moinmoin. Looking at the
litespeed logs, I see messages like

[127.0.0.1:45439-0#www.example.com] Handler with type id [8202896] is not implemented.

I don't see anything in error_lsws.log, or anything
interesting in access_lsws.log.

Looking at the process list, it appears that moin.fcg isn't
getting started (or dies immediately).

I appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks much,
David

I decided to try the example at
http://www.litespeedtech.com/support...ki:python_fcgi
using Jon's python fcgi library.

I'm getting essentially the same result, just a different error number:
[127.0.0.1:55515-0#www.example.com] Handler with type id [136967080] is not implemented.

Still digging ...

Got the idea from another thread of wrapping the fcgi script in a shell script
like this

When I hit the web page, no strace.log gets created.

In fact, as far as I can see, the UDS socket file isn't being created. Unless it gets created and disappears before I can catch it.

The error message is strange, can you please post your external app configuration and context configuration?

What is your OS? Which version LSWS is used?

I know that it's redhat -- I don't know which version.
The LSWS version is 3.2. This is a new site I'm setting up
at WebFaction.

Update: iaihmb sent me a video showing how to set up moinmoin with litespeed at WebFaction. I haven't gone through the steps myself, yet (I need an account upgrade first), but it looks pretty straightforward.

The main difference is that solution he shows has moinmoin listening on a specified port (like the moinmoin fastcgi directions for Windows or lighttpd), rather than connecting over a uds socket.

Please make sure your python script can be started successfully from command.

The jon.fcgi package might be outdated, I failed to run it with Python2.5, maybe you should try the fcgi module in flup package.

It should not matter that TCP socket or Unix socket was used.
