FastCGI test script

If you're having trouble with FastCGI (as I was), this Perl script can help you see if the problem is at the Apache end or the app end. In my case I'd simply not deleted the old Ruby sessions for my Rails app when switching from CGI to FCGI ;-) This script proved my Apache wasn't broken, at least.

#!/usr/bin/perl



use FCGI;



$cnt = 0;



while (FCGI::accept() >= 0)

{

   print ("Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n");

   print ("\nFastCGI Demo Page (perl)\n\n");

   print  ("FastCGI Demo Page (perl)\n");

   print ("This is coming from a FastCGI server.\n
\n");

   print ("Running on $ENV{USER} to $ENV{REMOTE_HOST}\n
\n");

    $cnt++;

   print ("This is connection number $cnt\n");

}

Suexec'ed PHP-FastCGI on Apache2

A PHP cgi binary compiled with fcgi support



> /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi -v

PHP 5.0.3 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Dec 30 2004 22:44:32)

Central config in httpd.conf





FastCgiIpcDir /usr/local/www/fcgi_ipc/tmp

AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi

FastCgiSuexec /usr/local/sbin/suexec

FastCgiConfig -singleThreshold 100 -killInterval 300 -autoUpdate -idle-timeout 240 -pass-header HTTP_AUTHORIZATION





Options ExecCGI        

SetHandler fastcgi-script

In a virtual host



SuexecUserGroup ${USER} ${GROUP}

ScriptAlias /php-fastcgi/ ${HOME}/php-fastcgi/ 

AddType application/x-httpd-fastphp .php

Action application/x-httpd-fastphp /php-fastcgi/php5-fcgi

And then the ${HOME}/php-fastcgi/php5-fcgi wrapper



#!/bin/sh 

PHPRC="/usr/local/etc" 

export PHPRC 

PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=8 

export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN 

PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=5000 

export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS 

exec /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi

The PHPRC environment sets the directory where php.ini is to be found
