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/ h2. Known issues * Windows: doesn't work with "native" (i.e. not cygwin) binaries. See http://redmine.lighttpd.net/boards/2/topics/686 (http://redmine.lighttpd.net/attachments/727/spawn-fcgi-win32.c) h2.
