  16. .SH DESCRIPTION

  17. fcgi-cgi is a FastCGI application to run normal cgi applications. It doesn't

  18. make CGI applications faster, but it allows you to run them on a different

  19. host and with different user permissions (without the need for suexec).

  20. .P

  21. lighttpd2 won't have a mod_cgi, so you need this FastCGI wrapper to be

  22. able to execute standard cgi applications like mailman and cgit.

  23. .P

  24. nginx recommends something similar, they implemented the wrapper in Perl:

  25. http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxSimpleCGI

  26. .P

  27. For running you probably want spawn-fcgi (http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/spawn-fcgi)

  28. .SH EXAMPLE

  29. Example usage:

  30. 

  31. spawn-fcgi -n -s /var/run/fastcgi-cgi.sock -u www-default -U www-data -- /usr/bin/fcgi-cgi
