Hi Daniele,

nginx seems to compile now :)

What I urgently need for using nginx as replacement for Apache is:
auth_mysql and mod_perl which shoud be possible. Have you tried that so far?

Well, while you can replace auth_mysql i think that a "mod_perl" for 
nginx doesn't exists: nginx embedded perl module is used to as an 
internal language to handle special conditions (i mean to write nginx 
config file parts in perl so it can do what you need programmatically).

If nginx_auth_mysql doesn't work, you can give a look to drizzle 
extension, that works with mysql too, to handle authentication.

Here there are links
http://github.com/chaoslawful/drizzle-nginx-module

If you can use pam, here there is a module that ask to pam for 
authentication
http://web.iti.upv.es/~sto/nginx/

(you need pam-mysql in order to use mysql as authentication backend)

In the end there is auth request that authorize an user using a 
subrequest, in this way you could do a little perl script called via web 
(nginx will use a sub-request) that will authorize the client to connect
http://mdounin.ru/hg/ngx_http_auth_request_module

Here some info on how to use it
http://mdounin.ru/hg/ngx_http_auth_request_module/file/a29d74804ff1/README

If mysql will run on the alix i suggest you to use a simple file based 
authentication because will reduce a lot the load of the system.

Regards perl, you need fast-cgi no other way, here some links
http://library.linode.com/web-servers/nginx/perl-fastcgi/debian-5-lenny
http://blog.oddeven.info/nginx-perl-fastcgi-how-to/
http://staff.adams.edu/~cdmiller/posts/nginx-perl-fastcgi/
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/369850/how-can-i-run-perl-scripts-using-fastcgi-on-nginx

Hope this helps,

Best Regards,
Daniele

Hi Daniele,

thanks a lot for your information and help. Will look through asap.
Very helpful and I think I will use it in future projects :)

Unfortunately our customer insists on using Apache.
Now  I am in real trouble as cross compiling Apache is awful.

Anybody here can help? Perhaps it would be easier to compile Apache
under a chroot of output/target ?! But how do I integrate gcc in my
target filesystem? Haven't found out yet where  I can configure it.

the problem is that they already have all web stuff set up and use it.
They only want to have a new base Linux system. The one they use right
now is a Debian the shrunk manually. So I offered them a  reproducable
system. Well, but they still need to support the "old platform". And
that consists of Apache, Perl and mySQL..:-(

That's my problem. I could as well create a LFS system but thats just to
big!
