FastCGI
FastCGI is a more efficient way of doing things than regular CGI
scripts. FastCGI works by launching an external process which keeps
running once started, processing one request after another, instead of
having a new process started for each request.
Challenger's FastCGI support is handled through the
Fast-CGI executable support module.
As with CGI scripts, there are security hazards involved with
running FastCGI scripts. They are most commonly caused by the low
quality of existing FastCGI scripts.
Fast-CGI executable support
The Fast-CGI executable support module has the same
variables as the CGI executable support module, plus
an additional variable.
Variables
- Number of simultaneous copies to run
-
Specifies how many
copies of each script to run simultaneously. If a script takes a long
time to process request it can improve overall performance to run
several scripts simultaneously.
