00:24 em: offby1: but my purpose is to have a website where I could use Racket to do the server side scripting.
00:25 offby1: I assume the answer is "yes, it's possible to use racket with apache".  But I don't know if there's any benefit to it, compared to using racket's web serve.r

01:46 cky: em: Most web frameworks support using FastCGI. Maybe Racket's web system does too. (I've not used it, so I wouldn't know.)
01:46 cky: em: If so, there is an Apache FastCGI module you can use.
01:50 em: it does look like there's some racket library for scgi
01:51 em: but it looks like maybe what's recommended is to have racket listen to some other port and then use apache (?) to proxy (?) to that port.
01:52 em: it's complicated by the fact that i need apache to be serving more than one webpage (virtual host?) and and apache is difficult to understand, but hopefully i'll get it. :)

12:17 stamourv: carleastlund: I thought {} made it possible to span lines
