Topic: install fastcgi module on apache 2.2 for win32

[tedkuo469]

Apache Version: Apache2.2 for windows
Operation system: windows XP

Hi, I am very newbie at apache, I have been trying to install fastcgi module into Apache server. So i follow the instructions given in the Fastcgi website by including the following line in the httpd.conf:

LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.dll

However, when I test the configuration by running the "Test configuration" program. It displays an error:

httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 86 of C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/modules/modfastcgi.dll into server: The specified module could not be found

I have tried both of mod_fastcgi-2.4.2-AP13.dll and mod_fastcgi-2.4.2-AP20.dll that can be downloaded from the FastCGi website, however none of them worked Does anyone know what's the wrong with this?. Did I miss any step, or have I downloaded the wrong thing.. I have been stuck for a while any help would be very much appreciated

Thanks alot for the help, it passed the configuration test fine now. However, just wondering what is the difference between the module fcgid.so and the mod_fastcgi.dll that I was using. Do they behave differently in some case? Thanks in advance

I don't know where you downloaded the dll. Normaly all modules from Apache in windows have the extension .so and not .dll
Steffen compiled the source from http://fastcgi.coremail.cn/index.htm and it works fine.

[James Blond]

What does your error.log say?

[pasta]

Test config file says the same error above even if I aply the suplied solution...


httpd.exe: syntax error on line of 67 cannot load mod_fcgid.so The specified procedure could not be found.


And in the error logs itself doesn't anything about this error.

I have the latest Apache if you mean by that.
and the latest version of mod_fcgi.. or is that not the clue what you are asking?

[James Blond]

Yes, there are is version from mod_fcgi for apache 2.0 and one for Apache 2.2. Secondly if you downloaded mod_fcgi from apachelounge you need to place the *.manifest files in the apache\bin foler for making that working! the manifest file is in the zip file included.
Did you install the Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package?

[pasta]

yes, I did install VC++ but I didn't install the manifests

[pasta]

This is what I now did:

I've copied the manifest to apache2\bin
I've copied the module to modules

I've added the upper solution in to my httpd.conf

and still the same problem provide above
