Hi all,
I've read a bit about fastcgi, and wondered if it might be an interesting solution for e.g. running php in a user-switched environment or running ruby-on-rails etc.
But I wonder why nobody (searched on Google) seems to use CentOS with mod_fastcgi for Apache 2.x.
And I also wonder why people actually using Apache 2.x and ruby-on-rails with CentOS did run a lighthttpd-fastcgi inbetween and reverse-proxying requests from Apache to lighthttpd to actually forward them to RoR running as fastcgi.
Could sombody please give me a hint?
For the record, our mirrorlist selection program uses fastcgi and lighttpd.

My gather from ruby list is that mod_fastcgi broke with apache-2 and it went neglected for quite some time and now someone has picked it back up and it's modestly functional - at least for ruby (I provided a link earlier in the thread) and eventually should become a standard mod for apache again.
