.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
fcgi-cgi is a FastCGI application to run normal cgi applications. It doesn't
|
|
make CGI applications faster, but it allows you to run them on a different
|
|
host and with different user permissions (without the need for suexec).
|
|
.P
|
|
lighttpd2 won't have a mod_cgi, so you need this FastCGI wrapper to be
|
|
able to execute standard cgi applications like mailman and cgit.
|
|
.P
|
|
nginx recommends something similar, they implemented the wrapper in Perl:

|
|
.P
|
|
For running you probably want spawn-fcgi (http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/spawn-fcgi)
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
Example usage:
|
|
|
|
spawn-fcgi -n -s /var/run/fastcgi-cgi.sock -u www-default -U www-data -- /usr/bin/fcgi-cgi
