mod_fcgid - cannot get FastCgiAuthorizer to do anything

Barry Scott <barry.scott@xxxxxxxxxxxx> · Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:08:41 +0100

The mod_fcgid page says to ask on dev, but dev says don't ask usage 

questions.

I assume that this is the right place to ask.

I'm using mod_fcgid from svn with HTTPD 2.2.

I want to use a fast CGI authorizer to allow me to control access based 

on my rules.

The authorizer needs to be a long running process - never exits.

I know that the fcgid code is noticing the directive because I can 

change the filename

and see the error message from the sources.

But I'm at a lose as to the required to get this configuration to 

actually call my code.

I have the following fcgid specific lines in my httpd.copnf file:

---- httpd.conf ----
...
LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so
...
