The list is dead in the water


The support on this list is dead as ever. Even the mailing list itself is no longer
being maintained properly. Too bad this technology has been given up on.

FastCGI support in lighttpd is being actively maintained (and actively
used by e.g. Ruby on Rails), and mod_fcgid for Apache 2 is also actively
maintained.  But mod_fastcgi is rather old, has not been ported  to
Apache 2.2, and I don't think anyone is familiar with the code anymore.

I know I struggled with mod_fastcgi for a little while, and then I gave
up - upgraded to Apache 2 and built mod_fcgid.  That's not perfect
either, but it's quite a bit better.

Re: The list is dead in the water


Can you share the same pool of FCGI servers by multiple vhosts under
mod_fcgid, like you can with mod_fastcgi ? I do this using a single
Unix socket under mod_fastcgi -- I read mod_fcgid uses unique socket
per FCGI process.

Does it fix issues with upload scripts? one I haven't been able to solve
on my own and nobody seems to be able to shed any light in this matter.

I assume you're doing that without mod_fastcgi managing the processes?
No, I don't think mod_fcgid can do that.

Without knowing what the cause is with mod_fastcgi, or testing in
mod_fcgid, I can't say.  Sorry.

Re: The list is dead in the water

Simon, et. al.,

FastCGI is a user-community support library and application.  The developer (Rob 
Saccoccio) who built the current version, and was providing support on the list, 
worked for the development company that I ran many moons ago.

Unfortunately, we are not a development company anymore, so our production needs 
are met by the Apache 1.3 implementation.

A few of us have tried to pitch in from time to time, but since nobody is doing 
any direct work with FastCGI or Apache 2.X anymore, it's hard to contribute 
meaningfully.  We were hoping that other members of the community would step up 
to help out, but sadly there is insufficient momentum or interest from anyone up 
to this point.

I think FastCGI is a great technology and I would love to see it grow and 
prosper.  If there's anyone out there who wants to pitch in and help out, that 
would be great.  If not, then ultimately the technology will fade away.

Cheers,

David.
