This server by default is listening to the port 1088. The Porcupine connector is bound to the root folder of the server. The Porcupine desktop is accessible by URL:

!! Porcupine Web Connectors

Web connectors allow you to bridge a web server with Porcupine. All of the above connectors require Porcupine 0.6. Older versions can be found to the [[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=141280 | Sourceforge downloads page]].

!!! WSGI Connector

In order to run Porcupine with WSGI anabled servers, you need to download the WSGI connector. The latest version includes out-of-the-box support for mod_wsgi. Apart from the connector itself, a simple WSGI server based on [[http://www.owlfish.com/software/wsgiutils/index.html | WSGIUtils]] is also provided. To use this server, you should download and install [[http://www.owlfish.com/software/wsgiutils/download.html | WSGIUtils]] and then simply start it by typing:

[@python wsgiServer.py@]

This server by default is listening to the port 1088. The Porcupine connector is bound to the root folder of the server. The Porcupine desktop is accessible by typing:

!!! MOD_PYTHON Connector

MOD_PYTHON connector for the Apache web server. This is the connector we recommend for live environments. It runs on Windows and Linux and it requires Apache, Python and [[http://www.modpython.org/ | MOD_PYTHON]].

!!! Win32 CGI Connector

This is a Windows binary connector for web servers that support CGI. Due to the fact that for every request a new process is created the performance is degraded. Good for evaluation purposes. Currently, this connector is tested only on IIS and Apache and it does not require Python.

Download [[http://downloads.sourceforge.net/porcupineserver/CGIConnector-0.2.0.win32-py2.6.zip | CGIConnector-0.2.0.win32-py2.6.zip]] built with Python 2.6.
