h1. fcgi-cgi h2. 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). 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. nginx recommends something similar, they implemented the wrapper in Perl: http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxSimpleCGI * [[BuildFromGit|Build from git]] h2. Usage Examples for spawning a fcg-cgi instance with daemontools or runit: <pre> #!/bin/sh # run script exec spawn-fcgi -n -s /var/run/fastcgi-cgi.sock /tmp/fastcgi-cgi.sock -u www-default -U www-data -- /usr/bin/fcgi-cgi </pre> h2.
