How do you make Apache v2 use fastcgi?

Hi,

I almost have RT set up but I need some help. I can connect to the web
server but I get an “You’re almost there” message which then states that
my

“next step is to edit your webserver’s configuration file to instruct
it to use RT’s mod_perl, fastcgi or speedycgi handler”.

I have installed RT based on using fastcgi but I do not know what I
should add to the httpd.conf file to make the Apache 2 webserver use it,
and I don’t see any reference to it in the documentation.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Michael.
