How to set up FastCGI for Zope on Windows, and Apache

Created by . Last modified on 2003/08/05.

Background

There are some particular issues with setting up FastCGI on Windows with Apache, because on my machine DocumentRoot is at D:\dev\...\apache\htdocs.

I don't really have time to figure out whether Apache maps a file as D:\dev\...\apache\htdocs, or D:/dev/.../apache/htdocs, or /dev/.../apache/htdocs.

Loading FastCGI:

  LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.dll

  ...

  AddModule mod_fastcgi.c

My Setup

Here is a fragment of my apache\conf\httpd.conf::

<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
#
# mapURL all requests to /zope to a file on .../cgi-bin/zope
#
ScriptAlias /zope /dev/2.62.00/WEBFLOW/apache/cgi-bin/zope
#
# map all requests to .../cgi-bin/zope
FastCgiExternalServer /dev/2.62.00/WEBFLOW/apache/cgi-bin/zope -host localhost:8999 -pass-header Authorization -appConnTimeout 0
  <Directory /dev/2.62.00/WEBFLOW/apache/cgi-bin>
  allow from all
  AllowOverride None
  Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
  order allow,deny
  SetHandler fastcgi-script
  </Directory>

</IfModule>
