[Cyclone3-devel] Cyclone3 and mod_fastcgi vs. mod_fcgid

[Roman F. <rom...@co...>]

Hi All,

Cyclone3 Framework runs fine with mod_fastcgi, but in most of GNU/Linux 
distribution is this Apache module marked as obsolete or removed. It's 
because here is a new and compatible mod_fcgid and in Apache 2.2.* is 
mod_fastcgi unstable.

But, here is one problem with mod_fcgid. I have it reported to 
developers, added into bugzilla's but without any answer.

Problem description: Cyclone3 is using index script named core.tom in 
every one domain. Because this script is same in every domain, it's just 
a symlink to file /www/TOM/.core/tom3. When mod_fcgid receives request 
to fastcgi process, checks if it is not already running process. This 
check is based on script location, BUT tracks source of symlinks.
So, when I'm running two domains: domain.tld and localhost.tld which 
every has in !www directory symlink core.tom to /www/TOM/.core/tom, 
mod_fcgid thinks, it's the same process and for every domain returns 
same pages :)

This problem can be solved by simple patch for mod_fcgid, but I can't 
say if mod_fcgid developers is responsible to commit our patch.

Peter Drahos, can you please look at this problem? Thanx.
