[FASTCGI] Configuring FastCGI app

[Alexander Galkin (Audible US)]

I configured apache to use my FastCGI app as external server

In httpd.conf

LoadModule fastcgi_module  /opt/apache/modules/mod_fastcgi.so
FastCgiExternalServer /opt/apache/htdocs -host localhost:9005

I call 

FCGX_Init();
int socket = FCGX_OpenSocket(":9005", 100);

In each thread of my multithreaed FastCGI app I call FCGX_InitRequest(&request, socket, 0); 

I start my FastCGI server and I verify it is listening on 9005 port. I start Apache server and everything seems to be OK

[Tue Oct 07 13:02:16 2008] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...
[Tue Oct 07 13:02:16 2008] [notice] Digest: done

[Tue Oct 07 13:02:17 2008] [notice] Apache configured -- resuming normal operations

Now when I try access URL that invokes the FastCGI app I get error in Apache log file
bind/listen: Address already in use

I am not why I am getting this error.

Alexander,

In that case, set it up as a FastCgiExternalServer and have mod_fastcgi connect 
to a UNIX or TCP socket.
