Subject: apache/fastcgi with linux


        Downloaded the apache_1.1.1 and tried to work with the Fastcgi
interface with Linux. Steps taken:

        - pulled the mod_fastcgi.c and tried to rebuilt the apache after
putting the mod_fastcgi.c Module in the Configuration file.

        Errors encountered :

        mod_fastcgi.c: In function 'Die'
        mod_fastcgi.c: 1475: warning: passing arg 1 of '--longjmp' from
incompatible pointer type
        mod_fastcgi.c: In function 'FastCgiHandler'
        mod_fastcgi.c: 2472: warning: passing arg 1 of '--setjmp' from
incompatible pointer type


        - unpacked the tar file into fast-cgi-devel-kit directory in
/home/asahoo/aks

        - copied the file 'om-httpd.config' to 'conf/httpd.config' in the
home directory of the Webserver (/usr/local/apache_1.1.1)

        - made changes in the srm.conf file
(/usr/local/apache_1.1.1/conf/srm.conf') 
AddTpye application/x-httpd-fcgi.cgi

Alias /fcgi-bin/ /usr/local/apache_1.1.1/fcgi-devel-kit/examples/

AppClass /usr/local/apache_1.1.1/fcgi-devel-kit/examples/tiny-fcgi.fcgi
-listen-queue-depth 10 -process 2

AppClass /usr/local/apache_1.1.1/fcgi-devel-kit/examples/tiny-fcgi2.fcgi
-listen-queue-depth 10 -process 2

        - created a symbolic link to the fcgi-devel-kit directory from the
'root' in the home directory of the Webserver
        ('ln -s /home/asahoo/aks/fcgi-devel-kit root' form
/usr/local/apache_1.1.1 which is the root directory of the Webserver).

        Advise :

        - Whether to go ahead with the warning messages while building the
apache ?

        - What should be the next step for starting the apache server ?

          (How to make use of the 'conf/httpd.config' file ? It contains
directives not recognised by apache.)

        - How to run FastCGI applications on the fcgi-devel-kit directory ?

          ( In the /home/asahoo/aks/fcgi-devel-kit directory 
            ./configure
             make 
            
            have been performed).
