Thank you Jeff!<BR>
<BR>
So you mean to tell me that this old tutorial is still the baseline for FastCGI w/ Mapserver and Apache? This was written a while back, and seems to be specific to Apache 1.3... Does anyone know of any modifications that need to be done for Apache httpd 2.2? Any other/new optimizations to the fastCGI settings?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
<BR>
