[OpenLayers-Users] proxy.cgi with FastCGI (Apache)

Sun Mar 13 11:13:41 EDT 2011

Hey everyone,

I'm using OpenLayers with proxy.cgi (/usr/lib/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi) to
access data in http://localhost:8080 from Apache2. All was working
fine until I installed FastCGI module for Apache2 (Im using Mapserver
too).

So now Im getting the following error, from the Apache log in
/var/log/apache2/error.log

[Sun Mar 13 14:20:16 2011] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server
"/usr/lib/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi" (pid 6853) terminated by calling exit
with status '1'

seconds given 3 attempts, its restart interval has been backed off to
600 seconds

And in the request (GET proxy.cgi?url=...):

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<p>More information about this error may be available in the server

</body></html>

I can give more useful information, jut tell me what, :)

My question:

I need edit the proxy.cgi file to adapt it to FastCGI? or maybe its
just that proxy.cgi doesn't work with FastCGI?
If someone had used it (proxy.cgi + FastCGI) before I will be
thankfully to know how.

Thanks!
