Install FastCGI on Unix/Linux

Installing FastCGI in Unix/Linux is complicated. Now let's talk about FastCGI installation in Unix/Linux, Perl, and Apache server environments.

FCGI modules in Apache:
1. Download http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/mod_fastcgi.tar.gz


2. decompress the apache installation file. Decompress the fastcgi Installation File to/src/modules/fas under apache.
Tcgi directory
3. Set Apache to add the mod_fastcgi module:
./Configure -- activate-module = src/modules/fastcgi/libfastcgi. a -- enabl
E-module = info -- enable-shared = info
4. Compilation and Installation
$ Make
$ Make install
5. Check whether the compiled execution file contains the mod_fastcgi module:
$ Apacherunpath/httpd-l
Compiled-in modules:
Http_core.c
...
Mod_fastcgi.c
...
6. Add relevant settings for using mod_fastcgi www.linuxidc.com
Edit httpd. conf and add AddHandler fastcgi-script. fcg. fpl.
Create the youwwwpath/fcgi-bin directory and set the/fcgi-bin/directory to indicate youwwwpath/fcgi-bin.
/Add ScriptAlias/fcgi-bin // usr/local/www/fcgi-bin/to httpd. conf/
7. Check for syntax errors
$/Apachepath/apachectl configtest
Syntax OK -- system display
8. reactivate the Apache server to make the new settings take effect:
$/Usr/local/apache/sbin/apachectl graceful
/Usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl graceful: httpd gracefully restarted
-- System display


FCGI module of PERL:
1. First, we install the FastCGI module in Perl. The latest version in http://www.fastcgi.com
.
Latest: FCGI-0.56.tar.gz
2. Download FCGI-0.45.tar.gz and unlock
$ Gunzip-c FCGI-0.56.tar.gz | tar xvf-
3. Compilation and Installation
$ Perl Makefile. PL
$ Make
$ Make install
4. Test
$ Cp echo. fpl {directory where Fastcgi is located in your www}
$ Lynx {echo. fpl address in your www}

If it succeeds, the following results will be displayed:
FastCGI echo (Perl)

Initial environment:

Finally, we will give you an example of fastcgi programming:
#! /Usr/local/bin/perl
Use CGI: Fast;

My $ counter = 0;

While (my $ cgi = new CGI: Fast ){
Print ("Content-type: text/html ");
Print ("We have served $ counter requests ");
$ Counter ++;
}


That's all,
