How To Set Up Apache2 With mod_fcgid And PHP5 On Ubuntu 8.10
July 6 2009 Categorized Under: Apache WebServer, Servers No Commented
This tutorial describes how you can install Apache2 with mod_fcgid and PHP5 on Ubuntu 8.10. mod_fcgid is a compatible alternative to the older mod_fastcgi.
It lets you execute PHP scripts with the permissions of their owners instead of the Apache user.
I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Preliminary Note
I’m using an Ubuntu 8.10 server in this tutorial with the hostname server1.example.com and the IP address 192.168.0.100.
I will create two Apache vhosts in this tutorial, www.example1.com and www.example2.com, to demonstrate the usage of mod_fcgid.
Make sure you’re logged in as root:
sudo su
