Is Fast CGI supported
« on: September 28, 2015, 02:21:06 AM »
I'm running SME 9, I can't find a reference to fcgi anywhere.  I think I might need it to run owncloud.

Is there a newer version of this document somewhere:
http://wiki.contribs.org/Mod_FastCGI

Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

It would be worth your while reading this: http://wiki.contribs.org/OwnCloud

It depends what you're trying to do.

You don't need Fast CGI to get owncloud running.  If you don't have owncloud running yet you need to solve that problem first.

If you do already have owncloud installed and running on your server, then I assume your question is aimed at improving performance.

* Have you enabled asset pipelining (owncloud 7.x & 8.x)?

* If you have updated to Owncloud 8.x then Owncloud recommends the installation & configuration of memcached or redis.


To more directly answer your original question: I don't remember ever seeing a reference to mod_fastcgi for either SME8 or SME9

I'm glad I don't need fcgi, it was unclear from the owncloud site(s) and docco.

owncloud is up and running okay. I'm not trying to improve performance, just to get webdav working.

I have this symptom:

https://forum.owncloud.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=30646

... but the fixes all involve fastcgi, and without confirmation otherwise, I've proceeded believing that it was necessary to set that up.  I've done SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1 but it doesn't seem to have helped -- I don't know how to test to see if it's taking effect.

Of course, SME Server forums can't be expected to help me fix owncloud, and they won't be able to help much with SME I expect so I'm feeling a bit stuck!

I suppose the next thing to try would be to setup a proper SSL cert.  FWIW cadaver tries to authenticate but also fails.

Thank you in advance for any other comments!

The login to ownCloud via WebDAV, CalDAV and CardDAV is failing...

That post looks like it's related to auth_webdav.  Is that what you mean by getting webdav working?
