Aside: Personally, I am not a fan of that foris config and will probably submit some patches to CZ-NIC making foris run as a CGI program, instead of as a fastcgi server. However, Foris running as a CGI is much slower and takes almost 4 seconds to return pages, instead of about 1 second, but I don’t run Foris that frequently, and prefer LuCI, anyway. Also, foris + nuci (not LuCI) are using over 25 MB memory and the bottle server is waking up every 1/2 second from select(). All for something almost never used after initial configuration.

FYI: patches submitted to run Foris as a CGI script and not in the document root. More info at:

foris: script options to run as FastCGI or CGI
