mod_fcgid doesn't appear to have an external process manager; compare
this process tree from mod_fastcgi where the access checker
(872695a60a6d82aa9fc041bae44803af) is a child of fcgi is a child of
httpd:
/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start
\_ /usr/local/apache2/bin/fcgi- -k start
| \_ 872695a60a6d82aa9fc041bae44803af
to this one from mod_fcgid where the access checker is a direct
descendant of httpd:
/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start
| \_ 872695a60a6d82aa9fc041bae44803af
I've attached straces from mod_fastcgi's process manager; as well as
straces from 872695a60a6d82aa9fc041bae44803af running under mod_fcgid
and mod_fastcgi, if that's helpful.
Do you still have the original httpd-strace for mod_fcgid? If so, grep
for access.scm; you'll see the script there.
PS. I've since compiled mod_fastcgi against httpd-2.4.3; the only
reason I was screwing around with mod_fcgid was that mod_fastcgi had
stopped compiling against 2.4.3.
It may be time to consider mod_fcgid abandonware, since I haven't
heard from the authors; and go back to using mod_fastcgi in
production.
