Ok, before we start I should mention what I’m using:

• Apache 2.2.11
• PHP 5.2.9 (compiled with –enable-fastcgi)
• mod_fastcgi

How to compile PHP as an FastCGI server is left as an exercise to the reader. Actually, mostz of the times it’s really as simple as adding

to the configure command and making sure that

is not on the list of your configure options.
Compiling

is straight forward and well documented, so it’s also not covered here.
Obviously you shouldn’t try the dollowing examples on a production machine. Ok, having all the mumbo-jumbo out of the way now, let’s begin.
