Hi Antonio. Can you better explain what kind of problems can arise with FastCgi ? We started to use it because with the standard one we had a lot of problems with Apache on the server. With lot of users (sometimes more than 50) that are using an Ads connection ...

Dear Otto, There is mod_harbour "standard" and the mod_harbour "fastCGI" versions. Both work with Apache and Microsoft IIS. Each one has its pros and its cons: * mod_harbour "fastCGI" is very fast but it uses only ONE virtual machine ...

Dar Antonio,
Please be so kind as to explain the difference between the individual versions and where I can find the installation instructions.
Does fastcgi no longer need Apache? Can you use prgs?
Best regards,
Otto

Yes, when you need the fastest speed fastCGI + mod_harbour is the way to go

many thanks for your great feedback!

And with the new dll from https://devzone.advantagedatabase.com/d ... latform=14 fastCGI with IIS works and is fast as hell...~ 9ms.

Very nice!

Uh, i forgot to copy the other dll's, now mod_harbour with IIS works. On my LAN testserver it seems to be faster than the old apache version, fine, TTFB ~380ms. (old was ~500ms).

Next step I will try to setup the fastCGI-Version with IIS.

Then I will test that on the live-server.

Thanks so far!

Please download and use this mod_harbour and libharbour.dll for IIS build: https://github.com/FiveTechSoft/mod_harbour/blob/master/IIS/bin/mod_harbour.dll https://github.com/FiveTechSoft/mod_harbour/blob/master/IIS/bin/libharbour.dll mod_harbour.dll, libharbour.dll and libcry...

Hey Antonio! I don't get the mod_harbour module installed right on ISS. I copied mod_harbour.dll and libharbour.dll to C:/modharbour/ISS and followed the instruction on https://github.com/FiveTechSoft/mod_harbour/blob/master/IIS/readme.md, also the Visual C++ runtime is installed. Again, the error a...

We have implemented mod_harbour as a CGI (not fastCGI) too:

http://www.modharbour.org/cgi-bin/modharbour?test.prg

Around 100 ms

New folder in mod_harbour repo:
https://github.com/FiveTechSoft/mod_harbour/tree/master/cgi

... for Microsoft IIS install instructions: https://github.com/FiveTechSoft/mod_harbour/blob/master/IIS/readme.md Try it first without fastCGI support and check if the speed you get is fine for you https://github.com/FiveTechSoft/screenshots/blob/master/modharbour_iis_settings.JPG?raw=true

Hey Antonio,

SSD: good question, nominal yes. Our server is a virtual machine, the ressources are not dedicated. I will dig into this further.

ace64.dll: ok, understood.


Regards

Christoph

Christoph,

Are you using a SSD drive ?

ace64.dll can't be freely redistributed so I guess there is no other option except run the installer they provide and later grab what you may need
You only need it if you plan to use ADS. If not, then you have the install the mod_harbour that does not use ADS.

"Current mod_harbour has the technical limitation than on each request libharbour.dll gets copied to a temporary folder" Uh, that seems quite a huge limitation. "winsat disk" reveals that our testserver seems to be rather slow with disk read/write operations: Disk Random 16.0 Re...

Testing mod_harbour on iMac late 2015 (Windows running natively using bootcamp): * Windows IIS 64 bits running test.prg is around 300 ms * Apache 64 bits on Windows 10 running test.prg is around 300 ms * Apache 64 bits on Linux Ubuntu (WSL) on Windows 10 running test.prg is around 143 ms * Apache 64...

Dear Antonio, Dear Otto! Thanky to you for your kind replies. @Otto: the testfile outputs just a simple welcome message: PROCEDURE Main() ? 'Some Text to return' RETURN The purpose of this Hello-World-Example is only to see if the Harbour-interpreter works basically without any errors. You know, my ...
