Topic: Need help configuration for Fast CGI with apache 2.2.3

[Panda]

i am running a server with apache, php and mysql that included in ther package of ApprServ application server

However i read around and came across with mod fast cgi for apche server to help improve performance for my apache sever, i download the mod, added in apache modules folder of apache, and add the following line LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so
to httpd.conf file but then i am stucked with the config of directory stuff i dont really know what directory i should put in httpd.conf in order to make the FCGI mod work with my apache server

here is the directory that i installed AppSev application server:

D:\AppServ is application parent directory
D:\AppServ\Apache2.2 is where apache located
D:\AppServ\php5 is where php located
D:\AppServ\www is where my website located

According to above directories in my windows what should i put in httpd.conf file? of course you know i am noob about this stuff, so please help me to sort it out

thanks in advance

thanks for the reply james, but i am still confuse though i dont have the fcgi folder withthin my AppServ folder, is this just bluff to get the access from mod_fcgid, or do i need to create the fcgi folder within AppServ folder?

Thanks again

[James Blond]

jepp, the fcgi folder is outside. But I could be also inside. If it is inside you don't need the alias.

[Panda]

so is this setting as you said it is example OK that i can go for with my httpd.conf add up ?

[James Blond]

Put that at the end of your httpd.conf and try.

Only change the line

from

<Directory /server2/fcgi>

to

<Directory D:/AppServ/fcgi>


Create the fcgi folder in D:/AppServer and go

[Panda]

thank you so much

one more question: do i put anything in fcgi folder or just leave it empty and i still dont get it why leaving it empty but set the directory for it ?

can i just set my web site folder for directory instead, and if i can does it affect my web site performance or just make it worst ?

[James Blond]

You have to put the files into the fcgi folder you want to run as fastcgi and call it http://yourIP/fcgi/your.php

[Panda]

ok, i am far confused than understand the situation here, like i told in the first post, i am running a phpbb forum in this directory D:\AppServ\www

Do i need to move my entire forum to fcgi folder or set directory for

<Directory D:/AppServ/www>
in order to run combination of php and fast cgi, please give me a liitle more explain

Thanks alot james

[James Blond]

Ok, than you only have to comment out the Alias and correct the pathes to your www.

I got internal error 500 message, and the error log of apache wrote this:

Have you tried the guide from Sitebuddy? http://www.sitebuddy.com/php/php_apache_fast_cgi_install

It is very easy to understand if you follow step by step.

Looks like now you're pretty much confused about where to put the FCGI folder and such.

For my site I set my site root to run all PHP script via FCGI.

Hope that helps.
