Few points:

1. For fastcgi configuration - you need to refer to your hosting provider.

2. For deploy, you have two options:

   - just compile all statically, cppdb has instructions how
     to do it (because it has dynamic modules loading)
     For cppcms it is simple as well - just link with libcppcms.a
     and libboooster.a   and provide additional dependencies like
     -lpcre -lz etc, this strongly depends on your build configuration:
     i.e. are you using icu, openssl or gcrypt, what do you have
     on hosting (shared libraries) etc.

   - compile dynamically, copy shared objects and provide LD_LIBRARY_PATH
     or use -rpath option - but this depends on the hosting as well.

The problem with such tutorial it is **very dependent** on specific
shared hosting provider - which libraries you have installed and 
which does not, what versions and what distribution. How can you
configure the hosting service at all.

This isn't a tutorial that is easy to write as-is.

I'd suggest following:

- If you are using a shared hosting service for running CppCMS
  write a tutorial in Wiki how to do it with specific issues
  that you have for your provider.

  I would be glad to help solving issues you run into.

- I strongly recommend using virtual private servers, they are
  cheap today and they give you full control on what you can
  install and how.
