Since this took a modest amount of searching and trial and error, I
thought it might be worth reporting to others the steps that I've
taken to get fastcgi to compile and install, but not, alas, to work,
and ask for help at the end.
1) Using Cygwin Setup, install the following packages:
apache2
apache2-devel
apr1
aprutil1
libdb4.2
libdb4.2-devel
libtool
2) Download and unpack
http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0404142202.tar.gz
3) Apply the patches at
http://www.fastcgi.com/archives/fastcgi-developers/2005-December/004060.html
e.g. by the following steps:
> wget http://www.fastcgi.com/archives/fastcgi-developers/2005-December/004060.html
> tail +55 004060.html | head -52 | sed 's/&/\&/g' > ap22.patch
> patch -p 1 < ap22.patch
4) Copy Makefile.AP2 to Makefile and apply the patch attached at the
end of this email.
5) Make and install with
> make
> make install
7) Edit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to add
LoadModule fastcgi_module lib/apache2/mod_fastcgi.so
8) Make sure cygserver is running
See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cygserver.README for instructions
9) Launch your server
> CYGWIN=server /usr/sbin/httpd2
That gets things running OK, but I can't get any actual FastCGI
apps to operate -- I've tried the fast-cgi examples from
http://fastcgi.com/dist/fcgi.tar.gz and the trivial test include with
the Perl FCGI module, as well as an attempt to roll my own using
the thfcgi Python package. They all launch the app OK, but then
all fail with one version or another of 'connection refused' or
'software caused connection abort' when the first message is attempted
to be sent from the apache2 server to the app.
Cygwin DLL version info:
DLL version: 1.5.19
DLL epoch: 19
DLL bad signal mask: 19005
DLL old termios: 5
DLL malloc env: 28
API major: 0
API minor: 150
Shared data: 4
If anyone can diagnose my problem, either be pointing out a mistake in
the build sequence above, or . . ., I'd be _most_ grateful.
