What arguments?

- Have you put the executable with ".fcgi" name into the "html" or "/cgi-bin" location?
- Have you tried to use .htaccess files?

- You also need to provide a configuration
  options it is usually can be done via environment variables.

Also before you begin I'd strongly recommend you to do the beginning:

- Build CppCMS with minimalistic options (no ICU, No openssl, no libgcrypt)
- Build simple hello world application that is "Statically" linked with CppCMS
- Hardcode the path to the configuration file in the code:

  int main(int argc,char **argv)
  {
    putenv("CPPCMS_CONFIG=/path/to/config.js");
    ...

  }


- Make sure that service.socket="stdin"


Once you can upload the executable and start (no missing libraries etc.)
try to configure the FastCGI handler see that it works.

Then you can go further, setup startup options, libraries etc.

In any case you need to consult your service provider about running
FastCGI executables on your hosting.



Also I'd strongly recommend using VPS for running CppCMS based services.
