Hiawatha version: 9.x
Operating System: Ubuntu LTS 14 /Debian 7

Hello

It is a while back i managed to have lua run as a script backend.

Now i'm looking to have lua-wsap-fcgi running. What i fail to find is what i should point the FastCGIserver ConnectTo = argument to.

There is no such thing as a lua fcgid, and /usr/bin/wsapi.fcgi does not have documentation on a lock file to point to in /var/run or /var/lib

Please advize

Please, read the FastCGI section of this howto first. As stated there, Hiawatha only supports the FastCGI type where a webserver connects to a port or a unix socket. What port or unix socket to connect to is to be specified via the ConnectTo setting.

Hi, i've done so and realized there was nothing to connect to, hence my question. I might be ill formulated.

In the meantime i've found LuaFCGID and spawn-fcgid which might well be what i need.

Here's how to have any fcgi daemon running quick and easy, example is for Lua.

apt-get install spawn-fcgid lua-wsapi-fcgi

Launching an FCGID for any fcgi daemon can be done as such.
spawn-fcgi -a 127.0.0.1 -p 2015 -c /var/www/ -u www-data -g www-data -- /usr/bin/wsapi.fcgi

netstat -alnp | grep 2015
