The HipHop PHP Wiki: Running HipHop – the Five Modes

The HipHop Wiki on GitHub already has some documentation on running HipHop: http://wiki.github.com/facebook/hiphop-php/running-hiphop

Interesting facts are for example the five different modes:

• Mode 1: Compiling HipHop and running it directly.
• Mode 2: Compiling HipHop in a temporary directory and running the compiled program from the command line.
• Mode 3: Compiling HipHop in a temporary directory and running the compiled program as a web server.
• Mode 4: Interpreting HipHop directly.
• Mode 5: Starting a Web server or daemon and interpreting HipHop on the fly.

Also noteworthy is the documentation on compiling a large codebase.
