Description

Hi,

I am trying to configure fcgid.conf file for Wt (witty) for apache2 2.4 on Ubuntu 23. I found a config file for FastCGI (not fcgid) and convert commands to fcgid ones using apache2 web page. But one is left FastCgiServer /var/www/html/hello.wt

Here is my full code:

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
AddHandler fcgid-script .wt
FcgidIPCDir /var/lib/apache2/fcgid
FcgidIdleTimeout 100
FcgidMaxProcessesPerClass 1
FcgidInitialEnv WT_APP_ROOT=/tmp
FastCgiServer /var/www/html/hello.wt (I want to find the equivalence for fcgid)
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
</IfModule>
</IfModule>

How can I configure for witty? There is not enough documentation for this.

Thank you for your answer. I found it from forums and tried but couldn't make it work. wthttp works but not with fcgid.

It could be good to include fcgid.conf and mydomain.conf examples in the info page for new beginner to web development.

For beginners I really would not advise to use libwtfcgi, but always to rely on the much more straight-forward libwthttp. That avoids an extra configuration and a layer of indirection.

I will look into improving the documentation, but that will be on the longer term.
