[rt-users] Re: [rt-devel] Apache 2/ Mod_perl2/ RT 3.0.7 problem

Just as a quick FYI:

IF you need to have the fastcgiserver directive within a <VirtualHosts> 
definition for any reason (ie: I generate my "virtual.conf" file from a 
database which allows me to disable all aspects of a particualr virtual 
host with the click of a button), then you need to use mod_fastcgi 2.4.0.
