Apache HTTP Server/mod fcgid

mod_fcgid is a FastCGI module for Apache with a GPL license.

apache 2.4 now provides an official module, mod_proxy_fcgi. See configuration example for php-fpm and Apache HTTP Server#Using php-fpm and mod_proxy_fcgi.

Installation

Install the mod_fcgidAUR package.

Usage

First you need to load the fastcgi module. Make sure that the following is present and uncommented in your httpd.conf:

LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so

Then you need to tell Apache when to use FastCGI.

For example you can ask Apache to treat all .fcgi files as fastcgi applications:

<IfModule fcgid_module>
  AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi # you can put whatever extension you want
</IfModule>

Remember that standard CGI restrictions apply, files must be in an ExecCGI enabled directory to execute.

Troubleshooting

It does not work? Apache error log (/var/log/httpd/error_log) should help you find the problem.

gollark: What if you want to run a program which is in a VFS but not as StarTup?
gollark: You said "boot a VFS".
gollark: (Crane is a thing for bundling programs into self-executing archives and may be better)
gollark: What if you want to execute a VFS but not as startup?
gollark: ~~also, binary websockets please~~
