How to Install FastCGI on CentOS

Question

Hi,

I hope these info are important. Following are already installed. OS: CentOS 7.0 x64 Apache 2.4 MySQL 5.5 PHP 5.4.36

I want to install FastCGI on this. I googled and found several tutorials. But the commands used in them are different from each other and Im confused. If someone can give me a step by step on how to install latest FastCGI on a server that already have above things, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Hi @admin1009248 , Let’s say you didn’t have FastCGI installed. We’ll install it as an Apache module. yum install php php-cli mod_fcgid As soon as you have it installed for your PHP version, you’ll need to disable the default PHP Handler. Edit PHP configuration file for Apache - /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf in your favorite text editor and comment the following lines in it SetHandler application/x-httpd-php Save the file and restart apache as service httpd restart Now you’ll need to setup your FastCGI .Nagigate to /var/www/cgi-bin directory, If it doesn’t exist, create the directory. Then create a php.fastcgi file and add the following content to this file. Also make sure the php.ini file and php-cgi exist on your system: vim /var/www/cgi-bin/php.fastcgi The content of the file should be something like #!/bin/bash PHPRC="/etc/php.ini" PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=4 PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=1000 export PHPRC export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS exec /usr/bin/php-cgi Now you’ll need to actually have the proper ownership and you can execute the them like so chown apache:apache /var/www/cgi-bin/php.fastcgi chmod +x /var/www/cgi-bin/php.fastcgi Now you have FCGI installed and you can actually use it to setup your Vhost files.
