Trying to get fastcgi to work w/apache2

Hi all,

I’ve been reading the
Request Tracker Wiki wiki
backwards and forwards trying to test out RT 3.2.1 w/FastCGI and no
matter which approach I try in the wiki I get:

[Fri Mar 04 10:21:47 2005] [error] [client 10.1.2.50] client denied by
server configuration: /usr/bin/mason_handler.fcgi

FastCGI starts up properly:

[Fri Mar 04 10:21:44 2005] [notice] FastCGI: process manager initialized
(pid 7336)
[Fri Mar 04 10:21:44 2005] [warn] FastCGI: server
“/usr/bin/mason_handler.fcgi” started (pid 7337)
[Fri Mar 04 10:21:44 2005] [notice] Apache configured – resuming normal
operations
[Fri Mar 04 10:21:45 2005] [warn] FastCGI: server
“/usr/bin/mason_handler.fcgi” started (pid 7343)
[Fri Mar 04 10:21:46 2005] [warn] FastCGI: server
“/usr/bin/mason_handler.fcgi” started (pid 7344)
[Fri Mar 04 10:21:47 2005] [warn] FastCGI: server
“/usr/bin/mason_handler.fcgi” started (pid 7346)

RT runs with mod_perl properly on the same machine.

I’ve added the webserver to the RT group, I’ve run suexec, I’ve edited
/usr/bin/mason_handler.fcgi to use suidperl, all to no avail. What
should I try?

Hi all,

This was a problem because Gentoo’s build of Request Tracker places
mason_handler.fcgi in /usr/bin. So I had to allow access to that
directory in Apache2. This is what my running Gentoo FastCGI
configuration looks like:

<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/rt>
Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AllowOverride None

<Directory /usr/bin>
Options FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
allow from all

Alias /NoAuth/images/ /var/www/localhost/htdocs/rt/NoAuth/images/
FastCgiIpcDir /tmp
FastCgiServer /usr/bin/mason_handler.fcgi -idle-timeout 120 -processes 4
AddHandler fastcgi-script fcgi
ScriptAlias /rt /usr/bin/mason_handler.fcgi

I didn’t need to chown any RT files to apache2 or anything like that.

BTW - Apache 2 / FastCGI seems much faster than Apache 1 / mod_perl!
