Missing environment variables with FastCGI on Apache 2.0.48/Win32

Hello all,

I am experiencing a problem with FastCGI based applications on Apache 
2.0.48/Windows NT.

Basically it appears that REQUEST_METHOD, CONTENT_LENGTH and the other 
CGI variables our apps expect are not made available. I wrote a simple
FCGI app that prints out environ, and only these three variables are
defined :

  SystemRoot=C:\WINNT
  _FCGI_SHUTDOWN_EVENT_=1240
  _FCGI_MUTEX_=1236

With a vanilla CGI program, the same code shows environ holds 28
variables...

The same apps work like a charm on Linux (Fedora Core 1) and I must say
with the same combination of software (apache 2.0.48, mod_fastcgi 2.4.0,
fcgi 2.4.0).
The configuration file is very similar to the "typical httpd.conf"
described in the FAQ, and is basically what we use on Linux.

I tried the dll that's in fastcgi.com/dist as well as compiling
mod_fastcgi 2.4.2 and the snapshot dated 20.01.2004 with VC++ 6 (in
Debug and Release), but this didn't make any difference...

Two other things I tried were
- a FastCgiServer directive with "-initial-env REQUEST_METHOD" but
REQUEST_METHOD remains empty.

cgi-fastcgi

Hi ,
I have written a simple python webpage that connects
to a firebird database in CGI. I want to convert this
into a fastcgi application. please help.
thanks. the code is...

#!/usr/lib/cgi-bin/gsanthan

import cgi

import kinterbasdb

print"Content-type: text/html\n\n"

def connect():
	return kinterbasdb.connect(
	host='149.149.30.72',database='e:\\program
files\\firebird\\grappl.fdb',
	user='SYSDBA', password='masterkey', dialect=3)

def main():
	con = connect()
	cur = con.cursor()
	con.begin()
	form = cgi.FieldStorage()
	if (form.has_key("STUDENT_ID")):
		
		Insert = """insert into STUDENT_INFORMATION_DETAILS
(STUDENT_ID) values
(%d)"""%(int(form["STUDENT_ID"].value ))	

FastCGI List Problems

I haven't been getting mail from the list manager for about a month.  Not
sure what the problem is yet.  If you've had the same problem (and found
your way to this message through another means), please reply to this
message offlist so I can "fix" your delivery too.

Problems with Apache2 2.0.48+FastCGI+PHP 4.3.4

Hi,
  I'm trying to use fastcgi to run php under Apache2.
Here is what I inserted into httpd.conf

LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.dll
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
Alias /phpbin/ c:/php/
FastCgiServer c:/php/php.exe -processes 5
AddType application/x-httpd-fastphp .php
Action application/x-httpd-fastphp /phpbin/php.exe
</IfModule>

Everytime I make a request, I would run into the
following problem.
The browser would show

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access
/phpbin/php.exe/index.php on this server.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/2.0.48 (Win32) mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 Server at
cimserv Port 80

And in the apache error log I would see this
[error] [client xxx.xx.xxx.xxx] client denied by
server configuration: C:/php/php.exe

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Re: Missing environment variables with FastCGI on Apache 2.0.48/Win32

Hello,

In case anybody is interested, I found that the compilation settings
were to blame.
Apps must be linked against the Multithreaded DLL C run-time. In Debug
mode, link against the Debug libfcgi.lib and make sure the Debug
libfcgi.dll can be located in the path.

Re: SIGTERM causing "incomplete headers" error?

I never got a response to this, so I'm resending it in case it got
lost in the recent list manager problems.  Any and all ideas would be
appreciated!

fastcgi and shared memory

Newbie fastcgi questions:

           Does fastcgi work with sysV shared memory (perl)?
    Experienced developers ~or~ funny anecdotes welcomed...

           Is it mandatory to setup a FastCGIServer line in the 
httpd.conf file?

          Does stdout need to be redirected (perl?)
               (Im getting the fcgi output in the error log rather than 
to the browser)

Thanks!

Re: fastcgi and shared memory

Hello Howard,

We have a fastcgi application in which we use shared memory and 
semaphores. We have a configuration file that is 'required' that 
contains the shared memory id and semaphore id. We use the semaphore to 
lock the shared memory so that only one fastcgi app is acquiring a line 
in the shared memory at a time. Once the app has its line it lets the 
semaphore go so that another app can get a line.

Been using it for years without a problem.

php4 as fastcgi + apache 2, setup howto

Hi,

I've got php4 as fastcgi + apache 2 + suexec setup working fine. Description 
is here http://www.t17.ds.pwr.wroc.pl/~misiek/index.php/ApacheModFastcgiPHP
(based on docs, faq).

There are also two patches to allow using fastcgi and suexec on systems where 
only UID/GID is used without corresponding /etc/passwd entry.

It would be nice if fastcgi patch could be incorporated into official version 
(now it's unconditional but it also could be enabled by some -allow-uid-gid 
config option).

Comments welcome.
