=head1 NAME
Catalyst::Manual::DevelopmentServer - Development server deployment
The development server is a mini web server written in Perl. However, if
you supply the C<-f> option to the development server, it will load the
higher performance L<Starman> server, which can be used as an
application server with a lightweight proxy web server at the front.
=head1 Setup
=head2 Start up the development server
script/myapp_server.pl -p 8080 -k -f --pidfile=/tmp/myapp.pid
You will probably want to write an init script to handle stop/starting
the app using the pid file.
=head2 Configuring Apache
Make sure mod_proxy is enabled and add:
# 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'd like to show a custom error page
# if the proxy is not available
ErrorDocument 502 /static/error_pages/http502.html
You can wrap the above within a VirtualHost container if you want
different apps served on the same host.
=head2 Other web servers
The proxy configuration above can also be replicated with a different
frontend server or proxy, such as varnish, nginx, or lighttpd.
