I’m trying to install mod\_fastcgi for my rails app.

I use Apache 2.2 and FastCGI 2.4.2 in windows xp.  
I have modified the httpd.conf adding LoadModule fastcgi\_module  
modules/mod\_fastcgi.dll (with mod\_fastcgi.dll and mod\_fastcgi.so in the  
modules directory).

## Whe i try to start Apache i have this error

## apache: Syntax error on line 122 of C:/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/xampp/apache/modules/mod\_fastcgi.dll into server: Impossible to find the module.

But the file is in the dir modules. So Apache not start becouse don’t  
load fastcgi.

Then I have find in the web this link  
[http://groups.google.it/group/mailing.freebsd.ports/browse\_thread/thr](http://groups.google.it/group/mailing.freebsd.ports/browse_thread/thr)…  
but I have not understand the solution. Then it ask for unix.

Thanks to all for your time.

There is a patch somewhere out there for FastCGI and Apache 2.2.  
Either hunt for that or use Mathieu’s suggestion.

I have patched mod\_scgi for Apache 2.2 and Rails runs fine with it.  
I think that if you get mod\_fastcgi properly patched, you should have  
no problem with Rails.
