h2. Why you should use spawn-fcgi instead of something else
* Privilege separation without needing a suid-binary or running a server as root.
* Protect (unix) socket - only the webserver can connect to your backend (especially php can be vulnerable if untrusted users can connect)
* 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.
* Actually you don't need spawn-fcgi if you have systemd - see [[systemd]]
h2. Building
* [[Build|Build from normal releases/snapshots]]
* [[BuildGit|Build [[SVN|Build from git]] 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.
