[MapProxy] deploying MapProxy with apache2 mod_fcgid (RHEL x86_64)

[Christian Willmes]

Hi,

just to let you know, I got it working now with mod_fcgid.

I wrote the procedure for deployment using mod_fastcgi and for using
mod_fcgid on an 64bit Enterprise linux system down in my blog for
documentation:

http://tmintt.eu/content/deploying-mapproxy-centos5-x8664-using-apache2-modfastcgi-or-modfcgid

Sorry for the 'spam', but in case somebody is trying to do the same in
the future... ;)

Best regards,
Christian
