nginx?
Which if the best install approach? fastcgi?

Any hints will be appreciated,

Hi rick,

I have installed it but there is a problem using routes.py with NGINX
+FCGI , I have posted about that earlier.
But using NGINX + CherrPy + web2py works fine and you can find many
other posts discussing that.

I think that NGINX + FCGI is so much faster than NGINX + CherryPy, I
will benchmark the performance soon.

Here is my notes about installing NGINX + FCGI + web2py :

NGINX ------> Socket file <------- web2py

1- Have the latest release of NGINX.

2- Edit the configuration file of your site so that it can use FCGI as
follows:

fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/web2py.sock;
include fastcgi_params;

3- Edit fcgihandler.py which is located in the root directory of
web2py, change the socket file to web2py.sock

4- Run fcgihandler.py --> python fcgihandler.py

5- Change the permissions of /tmp/web2py.sock to something that is
accessible by NGINX and web2py,
for testing use chmod 777 /tmp/web2py.sock
