Hello,

You will find instructions on this at: 
http://www.mapserver.org/optimization/fastcgi.html

If, during your MapServer/FastCGI travels, you have additional notes to 
add to the documentation, it would be great if you could file a ticket 
on MapServer Trac and record your additional notes there 
(http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/) - if you do not have a login, create 
one at: https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/ldap_create_user.py

Happy travels.
