Where can I find a good manual for warp server?

Question

I created a yesod webapp using yesod init. During development I used yesod devel to run the warp server on debug mode. Now I've finished a preliminary version and I want to deploy it on ec2 amazon server. So for an Apache server I could do sudo service appache start to start the server, and the server can keep on running after I close of the terminal.

How do I put my application on warp server and run it (production mode)? Is there any good websites that can show a quick tutorial on this? I've been searching for sometime but no luck, the closes ones are The yesod book, this blog and haskellwiki.

Can't you just statically link your application on a local machine and upload the binary? — Niklas B., Mar 24 '13 at 15:22

You can consider following the recommendations in the deployment chapter, or using the Keter deployment system.

I am following the set up for Nginx, but I still need to get warp running so that Nginx can redirect all tcp(port 80) traffic to it right (warp port)? – HHC Mar 24 '13 at 23:44
The scaffolded site includes Warp inside of it. The executable you compile already contains a fully functional web server. – Michael Snoyman Mar 25 '13 at 04:47
Oh really ? I though it was on warpDebug mode? So I can just run yesod devel? Also as to the question of server shuts down after I close the terminal, I think there is a work around where I could just run yesod in the background using the command unix command nohup. But somehow I feel there is a better way to do this. – HHC Mar 25 '13 at 06:10
You don't want to use yesod devel, you want to compile a binary. And then you probably want to run it with a process monitor such as upstart. The deployment chapter has full details on such a setup. – Michael Snoyman Mar 25 '13 at 10:58
Do I need to move Procfile to root and make package.json in-order for the binary to work? When I go directly to my dist/build/appname/appname and run it, it returns error appname: InvalidYaml (Just (YamlException "Yaml file not found: config/settings.yml")) – HHC Mar 26 '13 at 00:15

This discussion board is really informative on how to run a Yesod web site on actual servers.
