Hi,
I have a DSL line, a Packard Bell P150/48MB running FreeBSD 4.7, and an itch
to run a web server. To that end, I am looking for suggestions on what web
server to use, and perhaps experiences people may have had.
The things that I need are, (1) the ability to run on the above hardware,
(2) the ability to serve via python scripts, and (3) the ability to run 2
distinct servers (i.e. www.foo.com and www.bar.com), both on port 80, on the
same hardware (the server is behind a NAT box, and I am not sure what sort
of complications this will bring to this one).
The options that seem the most promising are Apache2 + mod_python 3, Medusa,
Twisted. I am a bit doubtful about Apache on the hardware, and in
particular mod_python on FreeBSD, but I haven't tried it to be sure (the
only post online I have seen continually mentioned seg fault...). I haven't
been able to figure out how to use Medusa with 2 servers though I'm sure
there is a way. Last, Twisted seems really cool, but I don't know much
about it and am looking for feedback from someone who has done this and can
say whether it is a good options or not.
Also, if there are any other options that might be better, please tell.
Thanks,
-d
