06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslive <p>On certain unix operating systems, forking a process from a
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslive multi-threaded server is a very expensive operation because the
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslive new process will replicate all the threads of the parent
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslive process. In order to avoid incurring this expense on each CGI
f67d046f3809f2659fa2b9842ca17ff87a1f01c4nd invocation, <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_cgid.html">mod_cgid</a></code> creates an external daemon that is
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslive responsible for forking child processes to run CGI scripts. The
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslive main server communicates with this daemon using a unix domain
06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslive socket.</p>

06ba4a61654b3763ad65f52283832ebf058fdf1cslive is selected during the compilation process. At the user level,
