========================================================================================================== BISBINO - An Erlang HTTP server with FastCGI as backend. http://github.com/ostinelli/bisbino/

FOREWORD

This is a first development release of a HTTP server serving pages with a FastCGI backend. Early stage, documentation will soon follow.

Just to get you started:

1. Install a FastCGI backend, such as php-fpm http://php-fpm.org/. On a UBUNTU 10.04 LTS box, the only thing you'll need to do is to issue the commands:

   . add repository sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brianmercer/php

   . install php and dependencies sudo apt-get install php5-cli php5-common php5-suhosin python-software-properties php5-fpm php5-cgi

   . start php5-fpm sudo service php5-fpm start

2. Configure your host: open the sites/default.vhost file and set the appropriate absolute path to your files in the parameters:

   {static_files_document_root, "** YOUR HTDOCS DIRECTORY HERE **"}.

   {fastcgi_servers, [ {"localhost", [ SNIP
   {document_root, "** YOUR HTDOCS DIRECTORY HERE **"}, SNIP ]} ]}.

3. Start bisbino. In an Erlang shell, type

   1> application:start(bisbino).

4. Point your browser to: http://localhost:8080. You should see a phpinfo() page printed out.
