Topic : mod_fastcgi.so

Posted By: pmconsulting on July 9, 2014, 5:00 pm

I have a software package that runs as a fastCGI module under Apache2. Is there a way to install mod_fastgci.so for the Apache2 version included in AMPPS?

I see that there is a line in the Apache config file:
LoadModule proxy_fcgi_module modules/mod_proxy_fcgi.so

but I'm not sure it that works the same way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi pmconsulting,

Try mod_fcgid

To install FastCGI ASF module for windows

Download mod_fcgid-2.3.9
https://www.apachelounge.com/download/VC11/modules/modules-2.4-win32-VC11.zip
Extract it and open modules-2.4-win32-VC11/mod_fcgid-2.3.9/mod_fcgid folder
Copy mod_fcgid.so to your /Ampps/apache/modules

Open Ampps Control Panel --> Apache --> Configuration.

Add this line
LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so

Run Ampps. go to localhosta/ampps --> Apache Configuration.
check your mod_fcgid module is loaded or not.

I'm on OS X 10.10, but I think the steps would be fairly similar. Is it possible to install on OSX?

I did manage to get a local copy of nginx running on this system, but only after hours of fiddling with config files. It's many times faster for WordPress than Apache/PHP.

Interestingly, nginx uses a different module for fast cgi - PHP-FPM, which I read is the newer version and may also end up replacing fast cgi for Apache as well.

There is also a cPanel module for nginx/PHP-FPM. But both of those paragraphs probably belong in different threads.

Meanwhile, I'll look into adding it using your steps for Windows & report back. Thanks!
