mod_fcgid is in a separate repo from the main httpd tree, due to historical reasons. I presume there are good reasons for this. JimJag suggested on IRC it's due to its independent release cycle. Be that as it may, because it uses the standard documentation tools for the module docs, https://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/mod/mod_fcgid.html is full of broken links. In particular, try any of the directive and links to other modules - try the mod_cgi or AddHandler links in the intro paragraph, and you'll see immediately what the problem is. Now, we could of course have a separate version of the docs building tools just for this module, or we could patch the doc manually, but I was wondering, if there's no strong current reason for the module to be kept separate, can we please move it into the main httpd tree? (Note that exactly the same situation applies to mod_ftp, but there's just fewer links from that doc so we don't hear it as often.) --Rich
