I haven't had a chance to review the docs, but here are the answers to your questions. > - Under what circumstances is mod_cgid used and when is mod_cgi > used? Mod_cgid should be used whenever you are using a threaded MPM on Unix. The reason for the module, is that Unix platforms historically are really bad at forking threaded processes. They tend to create all the threads, then kill off all but one in the new process. The IPC is less expensive than this horribly inefficient forking. > - Are there any security concerns related to the value of ScriptSock? > (ie.

That socket is used to communicate with the CGI daemon process, so there are definately security concerns around using it. > - Are there any other differences between mod_cgi and mod_cgid that should > be documented? Nope.
