Version 0.5.1 of "Das Schäfchen". Download here
This version fixes many bugs in the implementation of the FastCGI protocol. I tested Schaefchen/0.5.0 with PHP test pages I wrote myself, and it seemed to work fine. But then, one day, I wanted to try Mantis with Schaefchen and found out that I wasn't sending the cookies to the PHP server, this was easy to change, but then the pages looked very ugly (because the browser couldn't find the CSS file, this was because the PATH_INFO was wrong). Then I wanted to test Schaefchen with trac and it is when I found most of the bugs in the code which reads the FastCGI records. At last, I tested eyeOS (I didn't know about it but Michael Grassl told me Schaefchen didn't work with it), so wireshark and a couple of hours made the rest :). The authorization wasn't being sent to the FastCGI server, so I couldn't login to trac.

I am sure you already know how to do that (I didn't, so I have had to look it up)... I have created an upstart job so Schäfchen can be launched right after booting, the file must be in /etc/event.d/. Here is my upstart job:
# WebServer # # This service is started automatically by init so that the output from # other services can be logged. start on runlevel 2 start on runlevel 3 start on runlevel 4 start on runlevel 5 stop on runlevel 0 stop on runlevel 1 stop on runlevel 6 exec /home/webserver/WebServer/bin/WebServer --no-daemonize --conf /home/webserver/WebServer/bin/WebServer.conf --mime /home/webserver/WebServer/bin/mime.conf respawnI forgot I already had a command-line option to make Schäfchen take the configuration files from somewhere else, --conf

I have just thought that next thing I want to do for Das Schäfchen is to move the configuration files to /etc/schaefchen/. What for? this way I can launch Das Schäfchen from any directory (if you try now to launch Das Schäfchen from any other directory, it will complain because it doesn't find the configuration files). And what for do I want to launch Das Schäfchen from any directory? this way I can launch it from /etc/inittab (or /etc/event.d/), so Das Schäfchen will automatically be launched after a electricity cut off (you only think about these things when it really happens ;-) )
(6.00 AM) There has been a electricity cut off and the server has been down for a few hours... just after having been released in freshmeat :-(

The protocol FastCGI has been implemented in "Das Schäfchen"
Version 0.5.0 of "Das Schäfchen". Download here
It has been a really long time since the last release of Das Schäfchen. I started to implement the FastCGI protocol when I still lived in Madrid, then I started to seek a job in Germany and didn't have so much time to continue, then in March 2008 I finally found a job in Germany and moved in. After a few months living here I thought it was time to finish the FastCGI protocol and... it has been a long and hard way until I managed to get some bits from the PHP server... but it has been worth :-)

We are back (Das Schäfchen, Das Katerchen and I). We have all moved to Germany but I only picked up the server from Spain last weekend.

The server crashed again at about 12:00 PM, I couldn't boot it up until 16:21. I have removed a couple of drivers. I hope it won't crash again.
I have released another version of "Das Schäfchen" (0.1.1).
I have improved the function base64_encode (this function is used when loading the access list).
The server crashed at 00:22:47 (while I was sleeping :( ). Booted up at 6:54.
