Apache Module mod_cgid

+
+

Available Languages:  en  | + fr  | + ja  | + ko 

+
+ + + + +
Description:Execution of CGI scripts using an + external CGI daemon
Status:Base
Module Identifier:cgid_module
Source File:mod_cgid.c
Compatibility:Unix threaded MPMs only
+

Summary

+ +

Except for the optimizations and the additional ScriptSock directive noted below, + mod_cgid behaves similarly to mod_cgi. + See the mod_cgi summary for additional details + about Apache and CGI.

+ +

On certain unix operating systems, forking a process from a + multi-threaded server is a very expensive operation because the + new process will replicate all the threads of the parent + process. In order to avoid incurring this expense on each CGI + invocation, mod_cgid creates an external daemon that is + responsible for forking child processes to run CGI scripts. The + main server communicates with this daemon using a unix domain + socket.

+ +

This module is used by default instead of + mod_cgi whenever a multi-threaded MPM + is selected during the compilation process. At the user level, + this module is identical in configuration and operation to + mod_cgi. The only exception is the + additional directive ScriptSock which gives the + name of the socket to use for communication with the cgi + daemon.

CGIDScriptTimeout Directive

+ + + + + + + + +
Description:The length of time to wait for more output from the +CGI program
Syntax:CGIDScriptTimeout time[s|ms]
Default:value of Timeout directive when +unset or set to 0
Context:server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
Status:Base
Module:mod_cgid
Compatibility:Available in httpd 2.4.10 and later; in prior releases no timeout was applied
+

This directive limits the length of time to wait for more output from + the CGI program. If the time is exceeded, the request and CGI are + terminated.

+ +

Example

CGIDScriptTimeout 20

ScriptSock Directive

+ + + + + + + +
Description:The filename prefix of the socket to use for communication with +the cgi daemon
Syntax:ScriptSock file-path
Default:ScriptSock cgisock
Context:server config
Status:Base
Module:mod_cgid
+

This directive sets the filename prefix of the socket to use for + communication with the CGI daemon, an extension corresponding to + the process ID of the server will be appended. The socket will be opened + using the permissions of the user who starts Apache (usually + root). To maintain the security of communications with CGI + scripts, it is important that no other user has permission to + write in the directory where the socket is located.

+ +

If file-path is not an absolute path, the location specified + will be relative to the value of + DefaultRuntimeDir.

+ +

Example

ScriptSock /var/run/cgid.sock
+
