The Pigstye

The previous setup I was running I detailed here. I modified this install by upgrading the mod_fastcgi code by doing the following:

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0404142202.tar.gz
tar -zxf mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0404142202.tar.gz
cd mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0404142202

I then created a file I called ap22.patch in the /usr/local/mod_fastcgi-SNAp-0404142202 directory with the following contents:

This patch came from http://www.fastcgi.com/archives/fastcgi-developers/2005-December/004060.html.

Then I applied the patch with:

patch -p 1 < ap22.patch

I copied Makefile.AP2 to Makefile and did the make and install.

cp Makefile.AP2 Makefile
make top_dir=/usr/share/apache2
make install top_dir=/usr/share/apache2

I then restarted apache -- actually started it because it wouldn't start before and it works!

Hope this helps someone. Tomw
