I have this problem. I must execute the mapserver cgi on a beowulf-type cluster. On this cluster there is a particular command (mpirun) that permits to submit jobs to the machines of the cluster I want. I want to execute the cgi through this command and distribute the render computing on the machines I decide (different from the machine where apache is). Is there a manner to execute a cgi through the use of a command? For example: mpirun mapserver Is it possible in Apache 2.0?
I think there is basic misunderstanding here about CGI really is. A CGI script is essentially an arbitrary program, so it can do whatever you want. (Of course, you need a few basic things like an HTTP response header. See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/cgi.html#writing ) So for example, your CGI script could be #!/bin/sh echo Content-Type: text/plain echo mpirun mapserver Joshua. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
