As far as I can see, Action only allows to map handlers and conten types to scripts. mod_fcgid allows to use various FastCGI "applications" mapped by individual path suffixes (e.g. .php4, .php5 via FCGIWrapper). Furthermore I wasn't actually successful in making Action and mod_fcgid interoperate. Regards, Rainer
