Django will automatically use the pre-rewrite version of the URL when
constructing URLs with the ``{% url %}`` template tag (and similar methods).
+Using mod_fcgid as alternative to mod_fastcgi
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Another way to serve applications through FastCGI is by using Apache's
+`mod_fcgid`_ module. Compared to mod_fastcgi mod_fcgid handles FastCGI
+applications differently in that it manages the spawning of worker processes
+by itself and doesn't offer something like ``FastCGIExternalServer``. This
+means that the configuration looks slightly different.
+
+In effect, you have to go the way of adding a script handler similar to what
+is described later on regarding running Django in a :ref:`shared-hosting
+environment <apache_shared_hosting>`. For further details please refer to the
+`mod_fcgid reference`_

+This works if your server uses mod_fastcgi. If, on the other hand, you are
+using mod_fcgid the setup is mostly the same except for a slight change in the
+``.htaccess`` file. Instead of adding a fastcgi-script handler, you have to
+add a fcgid-handler:
+
+.. code-block:: apache
