 h2. Why you should use spawn-fcgi instead of something else 

 * Privilege separation without needing a suid-binary or running a server as root. 
 * You can restart your web server and the FastCGI applications without restarting the others. 
 * You can run them in different chroot()s. 
 * Running your FastCGI applications doesn’t depend on the web server you are running, which allows for easier testing of/migration to other web servers.
