Yes, sorry, I'm not using scgi, but I'm not using fast_cgi either. I
believe its using cgi alone, which is being implemented by fast_cgi.
Since I'm using cgi to execute fossil, I need to include the stub
script, which fast_cgi executes. In your nginx location example, fossil
is acting as the scgi server.
Hope this helps.
