running lua scripts using fastCGI

Question

hello,

i am currently trying to figure out ways to run lua scripts using fastCGI with either lighttpd or nginx. the only thing i was able to dig up yet was wsapi of the kepler project. but i wonder, if there are other possibilities. important for me is:

• should be as lightweight as possible
• should be stable enough to use in a production environment

many thanks in advance,

I would recommend taking a look at this project: http://github.com/STPeters/luafcgid

There are instructions on how to use it with nginx.
