# mod\_fdserv(4)

Apache module for persistent FramerD CGI servers

## NAME

mod\_fdserv - Apache module for persistent FramerD CGI servers

## SYNOPSIS

**LoadModule fdserv\_module** *module\_path* **/mod\_fdserv.so** **AddHandler fdservlet .fdcgi**

This implements the **fdservlet** handler for creating persistent FramerD processes for handling CGI requests.

## DESCRIPTION

**mod\_fdserv** works with the Apache web server and the **fdservlet** executable to provide for persistent, multi-threaded (when available) responses to CGI requests.  The **mod\_fdserv** module is typically installed and configured in the webserver's **httpd.conf** file.  In particular, the line:

**AddHandler fdservlet .fdcgi**

will declare that files with the suffix **.fdcgi** will be handled by mod\_fdserv.

## Configuration

The following configuration commands are available for use in **httpd.conf** or **.htaccess** files:

- FDServletExecutable

  specifies the path to the **fdservlet** executable.  If unspecified, it assumes **/usr/bin/fdservlet.** Note that this can only be configured on a per server/per virtual host basis.

- FDServletThreads

  Indicates the number of threads the underlying server should start for responding to requests.  The default is five threads.

- FDServletPrefix

  Indicates the prefix to any sockets created by **mod\_fdserv** and passed to **fdservlet.** It defaults to **/tmp/fdserv**

- FDServletLogFile

  Specifies the file to which servlet's stdout and stderr will be redirected.

- FDServletSocketFile

  Indicates the particular pathname to be used for the socket for a particular document or script.  This does not make sense to specify for a particular directory.

## BUGS

Doesn't work under WIN32 because of the lack of local (or "unix domain") sockets. Doesn't automatically restart when the servlet executable changes (requires a restart).
