While reorganizing my OSX build setup, it occurred to me that I might simplify the mapserv CGI build. I've been compiling 2 separate mapserv binaries for with/without fastcgi.

Question: if I build mapserv CGI with fastcgi support, can it still run as a normal CGI if desired?



I don't think 2 mapserv binaries are necessary. For MS4W it will be one mapserv binary, but Apache will be configured for 2 different script aliases for the cgi-bin directory (one with fastcgi settings and one without). So to answer your question: yes a fastcgi- compiled mapserv can run as a normal cgi.


So, without the Apache configuration to load and configure the apache fastcgi module, "mapserv-fcgi" would run as a normal CGI? Makes sense I guess. Took me a while for this to occur to me ;) Sure simplifies compilation (once, not twice).
