--dbd (or -d)

The DBD for your database, try SQLite, Pg, or mysql. Defaults to SQLite.

--dbuser (or -u)

NAME

Bigtop::CGI::Backend::Gantry - CGI dispatch script generator for the Gantry framework

SYNOPSIS

If your bigtop file includes:

    config {
        CGI Gantry {
            # optional statements:
                # to get a stand alone server:
                    with_server 1;
                # to use FastCGI instead of regular CGI:
                    fast_cgi 1;
        }
    }

and there are controllers in your app section, this module will generate app.cgi when you type:

    bigtop app.bigtop CGI

or

    bigtop app.bigtop all

You can then directly point your httpd.conf directly to the generated app.cgi.

DESCRIPTION

This is a Bigtop backend which generates cgi dispatching scripts for Gantry supported apps.

KEYWORDS

This module does not register any keywords. See Bigtop::CGI for a list of allowed keywords (think app and controller level 'location' and controller level 'rel_location' statements).

METHODS

To keep podcoverage tests happy.

backend_block_keywords

Tells tentmaker that I understand these config section backend block keywords:

        no_gen
        fast_cgi
        with_server
        server_port
        gen_root
        flex_db
        gantry_conf
        template

        instance
        conffile

Note that instance and conffile are now deprecated in favor of setting gantry_conf to true, which draws the values from the Conf Gantry backend. You may still use them if you like, but that may change in the future.

what_do_you_make

Tells tentmaker what this module makes. Summary: app.server and app.cgi.

gen_CGI

Called by Bigtop::Parser to get me to do my thing.

output_cgi

What I call on the various AST packages to do my thing.

setup_template

Called by Bigtop::Parser so the user can substitute an alternate template for the hard coded one here.
