• File www/scgi.wiki — part of check-in [54977e1413] at 2024-02-04 04:29:29 on branch inskinerator-modern-backport — Replaced nearly all explicit uses of the "blockquote" tag in the embedded docs: * Constructs like "<blockquote><pre>" are now simply "<pre>" * Ditto "<blockquote><b>" for command examples, which then allowed me to get rid of explicit "br" elements; pre does that for us. * Where it was used merely to get an indent for a code block, we're now using pre or verbatim instead, depending on whether we need embedded HTML and/or pre-wrap handling. (Not the same thing as the prior item.) In some places, this let us replace use of HTML-escaped code blocks in pre with verbatim equivalents, not needing the escaping, allownig the doc source to read more like the rendered HTML. * Use of blockquotes to get hierarchical indenting is no longer necessary; the skin does that. A good example is indenting ol and ul lists under the parent paragraph; additional manual indenting is no longer necessary. The only remaining instances of "blockquote" under www/ are necessary: # The copyright release doc is plain HTML, without the fossil-doc wrapper, giving it no access to the new skin improvements. # One MD doc wants a blockquote in the middle of a list, and the current parsing rules don't let us use ">" there. # The skinning docs talk about styling blockquote elements at one point; it isn't a use of the tag, it is a prose reference to it.

Fossil SCGI

To run Fossil using SCGI, start the 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:

fossil server $REPOSITORY --port 9000 --scgi

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:

location ~ ^/demo_project/ {
    include scgi_params;
    scgi_pass localhost:9000;
    scgi_param SCRIPT_NAME "/demo_project";
    scgi_param HTTPS "on";
}

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 returns an error.
