FastCGI config

Hi Hugo,

I just compiled your latest 6.14 and using the httpd.conf I had from 6.11 I now get an error:

# hiawatha -c /etc/hiawatha
Syntax error in httpd.conf on line 121.

line 121 is the FastCGI = PHP5 line in the snippet below:

VirtualHost {
	Hostname = localhost
	WebsiteRoot = /root/httpd/hiawatha
	StartFile = index.php
	AccessLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/access.log
	ErrorLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/error.log
	FastCGI = PHP5
}

the FastCGIid = PHP5 is defined higher up the conf file as:

FastCGIserver {
	FastCGIid = PHP5
	ConnectTo = 127.0.0.1:2005
	Extension = php
	SessionTimeout = 60
}

netstat -l shows the daemons to be listening on localhost:2005
of course localhost is on 127.0.0.1 as normal and php-cgi daemon processes are running

Why won't hiawatha start with this config.... the entire config for your info is:

ServerId = nobody
ConnectionsTotal = 150
ConnectionsPerIP = 10
SystemLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/system.log
GarbageLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/garbage.log

Binding {
	Port = 80
	MaxRequestSize = 512
}
MimetypeConfig = /etc/mime.types
CGIhandler = /usr/bin/perl:pl
TimeForCGI = 60

FastCGIserver {
	FastCGIid = PHP5
	ConnectTo = 127.0.0.1:2005
	Extension = php
	SessionTimeout = 60
}

Hostname = 127.0.0.1
WebsiteRoot = /root/httpd/hiawatha
StartFile = index.php
AccessLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/access.log
ErrorLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/error.log

VirtualHost {
	Hostname = localhost
	WebsiteRoot = /root/httpd/hiawatha
	StartFile = index.php
	AccessLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/access.log
	ErrorLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/error.log
	FastCGI = PHP5
}

When I run wigwam to check the config all is well...

# wigwam -c /etc/hiawatha
Using /etc/hiawatha
Reading httpd.conf
No non-fatal errors found in the Hiawatha configuration.

Appreciate any ideas?

FastCGI must be UseFastCGI from this version on. Thanks about informing me about wigwam. Forgot to update that one.

As mentioned on the download page: always read the changelog before upgrading. It was mentioned there.

Thanks Hugo - will read up on how to use UseFastCGI

I did check the changelog I just re-read it too and still don't see any reference to UseFastCGI - you may wish to update the changelog and and also the HOWTO too.

For anyone with a similar issue the UseFastCGI directive replaces FastCGI directive in the Virtual Host section(s) of the config.
