<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>. It provides support for the
<a href="http://www.fastcgi.com/">FastCGI</a> protocol.</p>
<p>Thus, in order to get the ability of handling the <code>FastCGI</code>
protocol, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> and
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html">mod_proxy_fcgi</a></code> have to be present in the server.</p>
<p>Unlike <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/">mod_fcgid</a>
and <a href="http://www.fastcgi.com/">mod_fastcgi</a>,
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html">mod_proxy_fcgi</a></code> has no provision for starting the
application process; <code class="program"><a href="../programs/fcgistarter.html">fcgistarter</a></code> is provided for
that purpose.</p>
<div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
<p>Do not enable proxying until you have <a href="mod_proxy.html#access">secured your server</a>. Open proxy
servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at
large.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="quickview"><h3 class="directives">Directives</h3>
<p>This module provides no
directives.</p>

<h2><a name="examples" id="examples">Examples</a></h2>
<p>Remember, in order to make the following examples work, you have to
enable <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html">mod_proxy_fcgi</a></code>.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Single application instance</h3><p><code>
ProxyPass /myapp/ fcgi://localhost:4000/
</code></p></div>
<p>This application should be able to handle multiple concurrent
connections. <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> enables connection reuse by
default, so after a request has been completed the connection will be
held open by that httpd child process and won't be reused until that
httpd process routes another request to the application. If the
FastCGI application is unable to handle enough concurrent connections
from httpd, requests can block waiting for the application to close
an existing connection. One way to resolve this is to disable connection
reuse on the <code class="directive">ProxyPass</code> directive, as shown in
the following example:</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Single application instance, no connection reuse</h3><p><code>
ProxyPass /myapp/ fcgi://localhost:4000/ disablereuse=on
</code></p></div>
<p>The balanced gateway needs <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_balancer.html">mod_proxy_balancer</a></code> and
at least one load balancer algorithm module, such as
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_lbmethod_byrequests.html">mod_lbmethod_byrequests</a></code>, in addition to the proxy
modules listed above. <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_lbmethod_byrequests.html">mod_lbmethod_byrequests</a></code> is the
default, and will be used for this example configuration.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Balanced gateway to multiple application instances</h3><p><code>
ProxyPass /myapp/ balancer://myappcluster/<br />
<Proxy balancer://myappcluster/><br />
<span class="indent">
BalancerMember fcgi://localhost:4000/<br />
BalancerMember fcgi://localhost:4001/<br />
</span>
</Proxy>
</code></p></div>
</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="env" id="env">Environment Variables</a></h2>
<p>In addition to the configuration directives that control the
behaviour of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>, there are a number of
<dfn>environment variables</dfn> that control the FCGI protocol
provider:</p>
<dl>
<dt>proxy-fcgi-pathinfo</dt>
<dd>By default <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html">mod_proxy_fcgi</a></code> will neither create
nor export the <var>PATH_INFO</var> environment variable. This allows
the backend FCGI server to correctly determine <var>SCRIPT_NAME</var>
and <var>Script-URI</var> and be compliant with RFC 3875 section 3.3.
If instead you need <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html">mod_proxy_fcgi</a></code> to generate
a "best guess" for <var>PATH_INFO</var>, set this env-var.
This is a workaround for a bug in some FCGI implementations.</dd>
