lighttpd + perl + mojolicious =?

Question

Does mojolicious working under the lighttpd web-server? How to cofigure? Does I need setup the FastCGI? It's my first usage of lighttpd.

Answer 1

You can use FastCGI but you can also use the included http server in Mojolicious (Hypnotoad) and use Lighttpd as a reverse proxy. So, for example, lighttpd listens on port 80 and proxies requests to one or more Mojoliciouss running at port 8080.

I find this set up easier, but it might be a little slower than using fastcgi... who knows.
