I was reading this page: http://www.adampetersen.se/articles/lispweb.htm and it says to start a hunchentoot you have to write:uby (start-server :port 8080) but there is no start-server function ? Doesn't really matter now, I'll read from that link you gave me. I was trying ruby on rails before which also has server (webrick) behind apache or whatever. So what's the point of this servers ? They start just one process instead of many (cgi) to feed the main server (just with plain html ?) ?

In the current package. But there must be a package where there is a start-server function. You could try to find it, (if you don't want to read the documentation), using the APROPOS function: (apropos "START-SERVER") > So what's the point of this servers ? To remove inefficiency. There's no point in going thru Apache to access your web application. > They start just one process instead of many (cgi) to feed the main server > (just with plain html ?) ? Indeed, there's no point to reload the application every time you click on a button either. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__

Generally the point is that apache (or whatever) is fantastically good at serving static content (ie files), and it's much better to let it deal with that because you don't want to reinvent all the wheels it has for that, while concentrating on the dynamic content yourself.

HB> Ok, it works now. I guess every cgi script has to begin with loading HB> packages, can it be remembered somehow ? Yes, CLISP can create a "lisp image" with all the stuff loaded. (EXT:SAVEINITMEM) Then you can load CLISP with that image if you use -M option. |
