I've installed mod_scgi, and I'm getting this call-back:

Apparently, while reading on a socket, the function

    scgi-1.1.scgi.scgi_server.ns_read_size()

expects a size followed by a colon on the input, but is not
finding it.  Looks like it is being fed input that is missing
something.

Is this an Apache configuration error?

In my httpd.conf, I've added:

    LoadModule scgi_module /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mod_scgi.so
    
        SCGIServer 127.0.0.1 3001
        SCGIHandler On
    

I've searched the quixote-users email archive, but could not find
anything that looked helpful.

I'm using:
    Apache 1.3
    scgi-1.1
    Quixote-0.7a2

Is there any more information about the various Web server
alternatives and how to set them up besides "Web Server
Configuration for Quixote" (web_server.html in the Quixote docs)?
That's a helpful document, but I could use more information.

Thanks for help.

Dave
