Hello,
I am new on this forum, and also a recent user of Apache.
My system : Windows XP Pro SP2.
My version of Apache : 2.0.64 ( msi file : httpd-2.0.64-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8o.msi )
I have a local web site developped with perl dancer, which can run in standalone mode. To test it on a server like apache2, I need to use the fastcgi mode.
So, I tried to use the two following modules :
- mod_fastcgi.so, unknown version
- mod_fcgid.so, 2.3.7 version from www.apache.com
To do this, I add the corresponding line in the httpd.conf file :
LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so for the first.
LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so for the second.
In the two situations, the server doesn't start with the message : "The requested operation has failed." in the Error dialog box.
I have also noticed that in these cases, no new informations was written in the error.log file.
Whatelse should be installed on my machine to have a correct configuration ?
Please, can you tell me if it is a known problem or if something's wrong on my computer ?
Thanks.

Apache 2.0 is not supported anymore is history. Even 2.2 is legacy.
Is there any in the Windows Event Viewer ?
Steffen
ps.
You wrote: mod_fcgid.so, 2.3.7 version from www.apache.com Maybe you can go there also for support. |

Do you recommand me to install 2.4 version ?
In march 2013 I installed 2.0.64 version because bin files for windows was not available on Apache site.
Today, I can only download the 2.2 version, except if it is possible to get the 2.4 bin files for windows elsewhere ?

Maybe you overlooked the question: Is there any in the Windows Event Viewer ?
Apache 2.0 should work for you if you have the good mod_fcgid. When you have 2.0.64 from apache.org, then you can download the mod_fcgid from http://apache.hippo.nl/httpd/binaries/win32/
Yep, 2.4 is the only version that is full supported by Apache.
Apache 2.4 you can get it from here. Apache.org is not supplying windows binaries anymore for 2.4, only the source like with linux.
All of us recommending to go for 2.4 !

apache.org's mod_fcgid/2.3.7 I think is linked against apache.org's 2.2.
If you have to stick to 2.0, at least move to 2.0.65, quite a few vulnerabilities addresses.
2.2 is a rather simple upgrade but it's considered legacy and how long it will be getting support is unknown.
2.4 is current and recommended but there is a learning curve to overcome so be prepared for it. |

Thanks.
I downloaded a older version of mod_fcgid from http://apache.hippo.nl/httpd/binaries/win32/, the 2.3.6 one.
I have also tested 2.0.65 version, like sugested by glsmith. But the result is always the same "The requested operation has failed."
To sum up :
Apache2 + mod_fcgid => Result
2.0.64 + 2.3.6 => FAILED
2.0.64 + 2.3.6 => FAILED
2.0.65 + 2.3.7 => FAILED
2.0.65 + 2.3.7 => FAILED
Before having a test with 2.2 and 2.4 versions, I wonder if didn't forget some parameter. Is the following enough to hope start the server ?
1) Installation of apache2 (httpd-2.0.6x-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8y.msi) (x=4;5)
2) Copy of mod_fcgid.so in /Modules
3) Add to httpd.conf the line : LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so
When this line is present, should I have to comment this one : LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so ?
glsmith, you said "... but there is a learning curve to overcome so be prepared for it."
Is there a so big difference with previous versions ?
As I am a beginner with Apache, wouldn't I better get involved in the 2.4 version immediately, according to you ?

The access & authorization in 2.4 is the big difference and can be difficult to grasp right away. Because of that, most existing configurations will require being rewritten. Many .htaccess files (like come supplied with blog/cms software) will need some modification.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html
Give the Run-Time Configuration Changes a look over.

If this is the case ... definitely! |
