<title>Fossil SCGI</title>
To run Fossil using SCGI, start the [/help/server|fossil server] command
with the --scgi command-line option. You will probably also want to
specific an alternative TCP/IP port using --port. For example:
<blockquote><pre>
fossil server $REPOSITORY --port 9000 --scgi
</pre></blockquote>
Then configure your SCGI-aware web-server to send SCGI requests to port
9000 on the machine where Fossil is running. A typical configuration for
this in Nginx is:
<blockquote><pre>
location ~ ^/demo_project/ {
include scgi_params;
scgi_pass localhost:9000;
scgi_param SCRIPT_NAME "/demo_project";
}
</pre></blockquote>
Note that Nginx does not normally send either the PATH_INFO or SCRIPT_NAME
variables via SCGI, but Fossil needs one or the other. So the configuration
above needs to add SCRIPT_NAME. If you do not do this, Fossil return an
error.
