<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>. It provides support for the
<p>Thus, in order to get the ability of handling the <code>FastCGI</code>
<code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html">mod_proxy_fcgi</a></code> have to be present in the server.</p>
<code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html">mod_proxy_fcgi</a></code> has no provision for starting the
application process; <code class="program"><a href="/programs/fcgistarter.html">fcgistarter</a></code> is provided for
that purpose.</p>
<div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
<p>Do not enable proxying until you have <a href="mod_proxy.html#access">secured your server</a>. Open proxy
servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at
large.</p>

<h2><a name="examples" id="examples">Examples</a></h2>
<p>Remember, in order to make the following examples work, you have to
enable <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html">mod_proxy_fcgi</a></code>.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Single application instance</h3><p><code>
ProxyPass /myapp/ fcgi://localhost:4000/
</code></p></div>
<p>This application should be able to handle multiple concurrent
connections. <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> enables connection reuse by
default, so after a request has been completed the connection will be
held open by that httpd child process and won't be reused until that
httpd process routes another request to the application. If the
FastCGI application is unable to handle enough concurrent connections
from httpd, requests can block waiting for the application to close
an existing connection. One way to resolve this is to disable connection
reuse on the <code class="directive">ProxyPass</code> directive, as shown in
the following example:</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Single application instance, no connection reuse</h3><p><code>
ProxyPass /myapp/ fcgi://localhost:4000/ disablereuse=on
</code></p></div>
<p>The balanced gateway needs <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy_balancer.html">mod_proxy_balancer</a></code> and
at least one load balancer algorithm module, such as
<code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_lbmethod_byrequests.html">mod_lbmethod_byrequests</a></code>, in addition to the proxy
modules listed above. <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_lbmethod_byrequests.html">mod_lbmethod_byrequests</a></code> is the
default, and will be used for this example configuration.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Balanced gateway to multiple application instances</h3><p><code>
ProxyPass /myapp/ balancer://myappcluster/<br />
<Proxy balancer://myappcluster/><br />
