| 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 |
Except for the optimizations and the additional 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. The only exception is the additional directive ScriptSock which gives the name of the socket to use for communication with the cgi daemon.
| Description: | The length of time to wait for more output from the CGI program |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | CGIDScriptTimeout time[s|ms] |
| Default: | value of |
| 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.
CGIDScriptTimeout 20
| 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 who starts Apache (usually root). To maintain the security of communications with CGI scripts, it is important that no other 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.
