.SH "NAME"
Catalyst::Manual::DevelopmentServer \- Development server deployment
.PP
The development server is a mini web server written in Perl. However, if
you supply the "\-f" option to the development server, it will load the
higher performance Starman server, which can be used as an
application server with a lightweight proxy web server at the front.

.Vb 1
\&   script/myapp_server.pl \-p 8080 \-k \-f \-\-pidfile=/tmp/myapp.pid
.Ve
.PP
You will probably want to write an init script to handle stop/starting
the app using the pid file.
.SS "Configuring Apache"
.IX Subsection "Configuring Apache"
Make sure mod_proxy is enabled and add:
.PP
.Vb 3
\&    # Serve static content directly
\&    DocumentRoot /var/www/MyApp/root
\&    Alias /static /var/www/MyApp/root/static
\&
\&    ProxyRequests Off
\&    <Proxy *>
\&        Order deny,allow
\&        Allow from all
\&    </Proxy>
\&
\&    # Need to specifically stop these paths from being passed to proxy
\&    ProxyPass /static !
\&    ProxyPass /favicon.ico !
\&
\&    ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
\&    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
\&
\&    # This is optional if you\*(Aqd like to show a custom error page
\&    # if the proxy is not available
\&    ErrorDocument 502 /static/error_pages/http502.html
.Ve
.PP
You can wrap the above within a VirtualHost container if you want
different apps served on the same host.
.SS "Other web servers"
.IX Subsection "Other web servers"
The proxy configuration above can also be replicated with a different
frontend server or proxy, such as varnish, nginx, or lighttpd.
