I've set up my app on an Apache server using fastcgi. Following the

I went with unpacking the archive within a base directory of the same
name, so that the base directory can be given permissions different from
the main www directory.
Any more suggestions and tips thus far?
My question at this point concerns reloading and cycling of the fastcgi
server. If I update the app's files, how do I reload it? I didn't see
any feature similar to the -r on the development server. Looking at the
process list, I see lots of Apache2 processes, none named fastcgi. I'm
guessing that the "fork" done by Apache doesn't change the process name
and command-line identification? So I can't just kill them off because I
don't know which ones they are!

Your application is configured to run in static mode. In static mode,
FastCGI applications are spawned and managed by the FastCGI Process
Manager (fcgi-pm). Restarting Apache will restart the fcgi-pm, which in
turn will restart your application.
You may also want to consider running your application in external mode,
which will give you more control. I answered a similar question a few
days ago, and gave some configuration examples there:
