Hi Frank/Paul

Tim and myself have been trying to get fcgi support running with no success.

Briefly, we cannot get past the following exception when submitting a 
standard getcapabilities call ...

[Fri Mar  3 12:04:44 2006] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server 
"/MapServer/www/cgi-bin/mapserv.fcgi" started (pid 32471)
This script can only be used to decode form results and
should be initiated as a CGI process via a httpd server.
[Fri Mar  3 12:04:44 2006] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server 
"/MapServer/www/cgi-bin/mapserv.fcgi" (pid 32471) terminated by calling 
exit with status '0'

Does this ring any bells with you in your implementations? It seems as 
though the fcgi handler is not passing on the query string, which is 
causing mapserv to throw the usual "Should be initiated as a cgi 
process". The reason though, i have no idea. The same executable, when 
fcgi is disabled works as expected ... all the SDE connections have the 
defer parameter defined in the map file.

Our complete configuration is as follows .. any thoughts/ideas would be 
muchly appreciated.

1. Unpacked fcgi-2.4.0 to /WSPACE5/fcgi-2.4.0
2. Built and installed library to /WSPACE5/fcgi_bin
3. Unpacked mod_fastcgi.so
4. Modified httpd.conf

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
AddHandler fastcgi-script fcgi
FastCgiConfig -initial-env PROJ_LIB=/MapServer/lib -initial-env 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/MapServer/lib -appConnTimeout 60 -idle-timeout 60 
-init-start-delay 1 -minProcesses 2 -maxClassProcesses 20 -startDelay 5

LoadModule fastcgi_module /MapServer/mod_fastcgi.so

5. Built mapserv.fcgi with the following configuration

./configure --with-proj --with-ogr --with-gdal --with-wfs --with-wcs 
--with-wmsclient --with-wfsclient --with-sde-version=91 
--with-sde=/arcsdesdk/sdeexe91/lib/  --with-fastcgi=/WSPACE5/fcgi_bin

*** Although no SUPPORTS=FASTCGI displayed for mapserv.fcgi -v, the ldd 
shows libfcgi.so.0 => /fcgi_lib/lib/libfcgi.so.0 (0x0054b000) indicating
it is using the library. Or is it?

6. Pressed on to see if we got lucky, so did a getcapabilities

continuously.
