Re: Separating Application and Server

What do you mean with an external fastcgi server? 

I'm trying the cgi-fcgi application with '-start -connect' parameters
and it seems that I get fastcgi applications listening on a specific
port.

The language that I'm using is C. Can I use the environment variable
FCGI_SOCKET_PATH?

Thank you.
