RT-SERVER.FCGI(1)

💖 NAME 💖

ok so quick intro bestie: rt-server is the RT standalone server. that's it, that's the vibe. she runs RT all by herself, no Apache situation required <3

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's every single way you can start her up, no skips:

# runs prefork server listening on port 8080, requires Starlet
rt-server --port 8080

# runs prefork server listening on port 8080 at /rt
rt-server --port 8080 --webpath /rt

# runs server listening on port 8080
rt-server --server Standalone --port 8080
# or
standalone_httpd --port 8080

# runs other PSGI server on port 8080
rt-server --server Starman --port 8080

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so the tea: rt-server is built on Plack, which means you can literally just pass through extra options like the ones documented in plackup (over at <https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Plack/script/plackup> — ikyk). she's flexible like that 🫶

so say you're in your dev era and you wanna actually see the server logs while you're working on stuff?? bestie just do this:

sbin/rt-server --env development --access-log var/access.log

and boom 💅 your log output goes to var/access.log. iconic. no cap.

ngl, remembering that --env development + --access-log var/access.log combo is a whole glow-up for debugging. write it down 🎀
