An external FastCGI server enables you to run FastCGI scripts external to the web server or even on a remote machine. Therefore, you must set up an external FastCGI server.
The following list provides information on some available FastCGI server solutions:
fcgistarter, a utility for starting FastCGI programs. This solution is provided by Apache httpd 2.4. It only works on UNIX systems. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/programs/fcgistarter.html.
PHP-FPM, an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation. This solution is included with PHP release 5.3.3 and later. See http://php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php.
spawn-fcgi, a utility for spawning remote and local FastCGI processes. See http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/spawn-fcgi/wiki/WikiStart.
