In the past few weeks, I have spent a considerable amount of time researching server configurations, security, performance etc. In that time, I read about the advantages of using mod_fastcgi over mod_php in Apache and decided to test this module. I tried nearly every recommendation, guide and tutorial I could find on the Net (most were Unix/Linux based, incidentally) but could not find a configuration that worked. I was using Apache 2.2.11, PHP 5.2.8 and mod_fastcgi-2.4.6-AP22.dll.
My research led me to this site at one point and notice that there was an alternative fast cgi module, but at that time was still actively attempting to achieve some success with mod_fastcgi. Anyway since I could not get mod_fastcgi to work, I figured I that I would do the logical thing and try mod_fcgid  . In order to be more effecient this time I will request some help on setting up mod_fcgid on Windows. I am using XP SP3 as the test machine.
1. Which PHP package should be used? The Windows Installer, the thread-safe zip package or the non-thread-safe zip package. I tried the last two during my mod_fastcgi tests.
2. What directives, if any, should be placed in the php.ini file?
3. What directives should be placed in the Apache httpd.conf file?
4. What other relevant information (either posted here or referred to via links) that I would need for installation and configuration.
I would be extremely grateful for any assistance .
Cheers |

You can download mod_fcgid from the download page on apachelounge.
Here a very short tutorial for a location, but I'm sure you can get this work over all. The PHPRC sets where the php.ini is located. The php folder itself is a good location.
This requieres mod_setenvif enabled.
| Code: |
LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
IPCCommTimeout 40
IPCConnectTimeout 10
MaxProcessCount 8
OutputBufferSize 64
ProcessLifeTime 240
MaxRequestsPerProcess 500
SetEnv PHPRC "C:/php"
DefaultInitEnv TEMP "c:/tmp"
DefaultMinClassProcessCount 0
Alias /fcgi/ "c:/fcgi/"
<Directory c:/fcgi>
AddHandler fcgid-script .php
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
FCGIWrapper "c:/php5/php-cgi.exe" .php
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Satisfy any
</Directory>
</IfModule>

Thanks Mr. Blond for responding and the tutorial . I'll give it a spin to see how it goes. I gather that any of the PHP packages (auto-installer, thread-safe or non-thread-safe) are fine to use for testing?

| I tried the thread safe and the non thread safe package. I dislike self installers. |
