Dispatcher: fastcgidispatch

fastcgidispatch is the dispatcher for Apache web servers supporting FastCGI protocol.

It can be started by the Web server or in command line.

fastcgidispatch -s

Alternatively, if using the GAS systemd service, you can execute the following command:

systemctl start fastcgidispatch.service

Note:

Fastcgidispatch is supported on UNIX™-like platforms only. While fastcgidispatch is known to work on Windows®, it is not recommended and is not supported. Windows systems use the Genero isapidispatch dispatcher, which is dedicated to the Internet Information Services (IIS) web server.

Syntax

options can be an option as described in Table 1.
argfile defines a file that contains a list of override (-E) commands. The options file must use the following format:
```

Table 1. fastcgidispatch options
Option	Description
`-p directory` `--as-directory directory`	Specify the Genero Application Server directory.
`-f configuration_file` `--configuration-file configuration_file`	Specify which configuration file to use when starting the Genero Application Server dispatcher. If not specified, the default configuration file, $FGLASDIR/etc/as.xcf, is used.
`-E name=value` `--resource-overwrite name=value`	Overwrites the resource defined in the configuration file or creates a new one. Example: `fastcgidispatch -E res.dvm.wa=$FGLDIR/bin/myrun` If in the configuration file "res.dvm.wa" has another value it is now set to myrun. The final value is the one set in the option.
`-s` `--standalone`	Start the FastCGI dispatcher in standalone mode, where the dispatcher is started prior to any actual request from an application or Web server. The web server's FastCGI extension must be configured to connect to an external GAS.
`-h` `--help`	Displays help information.
`-V` `--version`	Displays version information.
`--pid-file` `filename`	Write the dispatcher process-id to the specified file. The file is created. If the file exists, it is overwritten.
`--dump-command`	Verify the dispatcher start-up options listed in a file by outputting them to standard out. Example: `fastcgidispatch -s @fcgi.options --dump-command`
