[mapserver-users] FastCGI connection pool parameters

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Tom,

For MS4W users on Windows, the documentation 
(https://ms4w.com/README_INSTALL.html#fastcgi) gives more specific 
examples, such as:

   <IfModule fcgid_module>
      FcgidMinProcessesPerClass 0
      FcgidIdleScanInterval 1
      FcgidProcessLifeTime 10
   </IfModule>

and also points to the mod_fcgid page where each of these directives is 
defined in detail: https://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/mod/mod_fcgid.html

Personally I always start with those settings, but others will have 
their favorite preferences for settings.

Hope that helps,

-jeff
