This is a dedicated webserver to serve PHP applications through HHVMs FastCGI interface, allowing to run (and test) PHP applications with Zend PHP and HHVM side by side.
Why? I couldn't get hhvm and PHP to run side by side with Apache on my Ubuntu system. There is probably a simple solution out there to do what this project does, but in the interest of furthering my #golang experience I thought this was a good project to built.
WARNING: This server is not meant for production. Use it to test your web-apps with HHVM.
You need go installed on your system, then call:
$ go get github.com/beberlei/hhvm-serve
Add $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH in ~/.bashrc to make the hhvm-serve command available.
You need HHVM on your system as well and listening for fastcgi connections on 127.0.0.1:9000 (it does that by default).
Don't forget to /etc/init.d/hhvm start.
You can keep your Apache/Nginx setup with this proxy and start a webserver (defaults to localhost:8080)
for a given document root (defaults to current working directory).
$ hhvm-serve --document-root=/var/www --listen=127.0.0.1:8080
Listening on http://localhost:8080
Document root is /var/www
