(2008-01-17) Bicking Php Deployment Wsgi

Ian Bicking notes the deployment joy of PHP. Solving this is all the harder because of how it interacts with the language itself. But it's not impossible. Process model 2 - worker processes - are feasible for most languages. You just need a really good process manager (including process setup for isolation, and process monitoring to mitigate problems). Apache alone is not this manager. mod_fastcgi (FastCGI) could be this manager, but it's not. Maybe mod_wsgi (WSGI) will become this manager for Python.

James Bennett notes the challenges of working with most hosting providers (Hosted Server).
