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.
h2. Building
* [[Build|Build from normal releases/snapshots]]
* [[SVN|Build from SVN]]
h2. Usage
* [[Basic Ideas]]
* Example run scripts for daemontools or runit: source:/trunk/doc/ "spawn-php.sh":http://www.lighttpd.net/download/spawn-php.sh
h2. Known issues
* Windows: doesn't work with "native" (i.e. not cygwin) binaries.
