.SH NAME
fcgiwrap \- serve CGI applications over FastCGI
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B fcgiwrap
.I [OPTIONS]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBfcgiwrap\fP is a simple server for running CGI applications over
FastCGI. It hopes to provide clean CGI support to Nginx (and other web servers
that may need it).
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-c \fInumber\fP
Number of fcgiwrap processes to prefork.
.TP
.B \-h
Show a help message and exit.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
When running, \fBfcgiwrap\fP evaluates these environment variables set by
the web server calling an fcgi-script. The variables DOCUMENT_ROOT and
SCRIPT_NAME will be concatenated and the resulting executable run as CGI
script wrapped as FastCGI, with the remainder after the script name
available as PATH_INFO. To disable PATH_INFO mangling, set up your web
server to pass SCRIPT_FILENAME, which should contain the complete path to
the script. Then PATH_INFO will not be modified.
DOCUMENT_ROOT
.RS
directory which the script resides in
.RE
SCRIPT_NAME
.RS
actual executable
.RE
SCRIPT_FILENAME
.RS
complete path to CGI script. When set, overrides DOCUMENT_ROOT and SCRIPT_NAME
.SH EXAMPLE
Most probably you will want to launch \fBfcgiwrap\fP by
.I spawn-fcgi
using a configuration like this:
FCGI_SOCKET=/var/run/fcgiwrap.sock
.br
FCGI_PROGRAM=/usr/sbin/fcgiwrap
.br
FCGI_USER=nginx
.br
FCGI_GROUP=www
.br
FCGI_EXTRA_OPTIONS="-M 0700"
.br
ALLOWED_ENV="PATH"
.I Nginx
can be configured to have the arbitrary CGI
.I cgit
run as FastCGI as follows:
location / {
.br
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT /var/www/localhost/htdocs/cgit/;
.br
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME cgit;
.br
}
