Am I wrong thinking, that using "proxy FCGI" projects are a lot easier to
manage, anyway, as here you can use normal debugging means (e.g. Lazarus) ?
Not really.
On windows they must be service programs, which are an
absolute horror to debug.
Stability wise it is best, but depending on technology this is not a hard
_must_. The ISAPI framework that I once used allowed the main application
to be both app and service, and for debugging purposes one used the
application form.
I know. My own proxy fastcgi apps worked like that.
But if you are on a headless server, then a windows service is the only really
viable way.
You can start messing with run entries in the registry, but the problem remains the
same: the app must be running when the webserver starts.
Best way to achieve that is a service.
The alternative is to let the webserver control the program instances.
And except for debugging purposes, this is still the best approach IMHO.
