# This file includes an experimental gateway CGI implementation. It will work
# only on platforms which support both fork and sockets.
#
# To enable it edit public/.htaccess and replace dispatch.cgi with gateway.cgi.
#
# Next, create the directory log/drb_gateway and grant the apache user rw access
# to said directory.
#
# On the next request to your server, the gateway tracker should start up, along
# with a few listener processes. This setup should provide you with much better
# speeds than dispatch.cgi.
#
# Keep in mind that the first request made to the server will be slow, as the
# tracker and listeners will have to load. Also, the tracker and listeners will
# shutdown after a period if inactivity. You can set this value below -- the
# default is 90 seconds.
