[REBOL] Re: About FastCGI

Hi,
thanks for the answer. After playing with FastCGI concept thru the weekend and
nearly going mad I finally have something working, but Windoze and Linux
behave differently, although I use the same directives ...

So, I haven't tried this mode yet. FastCGI works in three modes - static (only
when FastCGIServer directive is used), dynamic (default) and external.
In default (dynamic) mode, your webserver starts/kills your apps itself. It
seems to me, that for each url (script), it starts one instance of rebolcmd
and at least one instance is running in the background.
I am curious how does it communicate, if no host is specified. It has to use
unix sockets or something like that, because I am not listening on any port,
or am I?
One question for you, as you seem to succesfully use External mode - do you
run listening loop as described in fastcgi command docs in the beginning of
each your script. Or you just start your server with such script?
One thing I am not able to resolve is - where to put license.key file? Rebol
seems to look for license.key file in the launch dir = dir of your script ...
How do I solve this one? :-)

Uhmm, never seen this one :-) Is it really required?
Thanks,
