[rt-devel] [PATCH] FastCGI documentation update

[Blair Zajac]

In trying to get FastCGI going, I discovered a typo and how to get FastCGI
working.

There is a typo on

    http://fsck.com/rtfm/article.html?id=2

I think the line

    AddHandler fastcgi-script fsgi

should read

    AddHandler fastcgi-script fcgi

the last s -> c.

The documented additions to httpd.conf for FastCGI are: 

     LoadModule    fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so
     AddModule     mod_fastcgi.c
     AddHandler    fastcgi-script fsgi
     FastCgiServer /path/to/rt2/bin/mason_handler.fcgi
     ScriptAlias   / /path/to/rt2/bin/mason_handler.fcgi

ScriptAlias will send all requests for any HTML and non-HTML content to
the mason_handler.fcgi, which is not what one wants to do.  Only URLs ending
in / or .html should be handled by the mason_handler.fcgi and everything
else served normally.  This does the trick:

     LoadModule      fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so
     AddModule        mod_fastcgi.c
     AddHandler       fastcgi-script fcgi
     FastCgiServer    /path/to/rt2/bin/mason_handler.fcgi
     ScriptAliasMatch (.*/)$      /path/to/rt2/bin/mason_handler.fcgi$1
     ScriptAliasMatch (.*\.html)$ /path/to/rt2/bin/mason_handler.fcgi$1

Best,
Blair
