There should be no problem raising this limit up to 256, the posix path size limitation. > * Are there build instructions somewhere so I can do my own compile on > the Win32 platform? mod_fcgid being a standard apache module, you have to use apache's own tools to compile mod_fcgid, or if you want it statically compiled, you can include it in the source. I'm not used to windows platforms, but there should be no difference in compiling mod_fcgid and other standard modules on windows. > > JFYI, some PHP extensions - like Sybase and Oracle clients - look for > library files in the PATH variable.

PATH size in windows is larger maybe because windows paths are much longer than unix ones (of cours there are case where this is totally wrong). > > Any help is appreciated! > > - James > > (I would have sent this to a developers mailing list, but couldn't find it > if it exists.) There isn't any developer list, this is the only one existing. Any suggestion or question is welcome here!
