Mod_security can front fastcgi quite easily. There may be some instances where it doesn't work for all types of rules. (?) The point I was making is that php is not supported via mod_php in httpd 2.x. Can you get it to work, yes, but if you ask question in php-lanf they will tell you use apache 1.3 or fastcgi. Same in httpd-land. Since this fact has not been well publicized, people keep using mod_php and php developers never actually test their code under fact-cgi. Should someone draft an official "statement" that can be put on httpd.apache.org? It would help if we included an implementation of fact-cgi, as well. Or, at least, gave some links to the more popular one(s). -- Brian Akins Chief Operations Engineer Turner Digital Media Technologies
