Review general differences between the popular CGI and FastCGI protocols, but concentrate on deployment differences between the different modules for httpd which implement these protocols. Attendees with a basic understanding of CGI and FastCGI can expect to learn 1. how typical CGI configurations can be converted directly to FastCGI; 2. when and how to utilize different configuration mechanisms provided by mod_fcgid and mod_fastcgi; 3. the special issues behind mod_cgid, and how those are addressed by mod_fcgid and mod_fastcgi; 4. pros and cons for mod_fcgid and mod_fastcgi; 5. the new FastCGI proxy capability in future httpd 2.4 and a long term perspective on these three FastCGI implementations.
