cgi-fcgi

Hello:
    I am attempting to write a small webserver, and want to try to 
incorporate fcgi into it.
While reading over the the developers documentation I found the the section
"Using cgi-fcgi with any webserver"
http://www.fastcgi.com/devkit/doc/fcgi-devel-kit.htm#S4.2
So my question is this. Can I somehow configure cgi-fcgi to run php scripts?
I know that php has fastcgi support. How would I go about this? The example
online confused me.

If my understanding is correct I would need to bulid php with 
--enable-fastcgi.
Then I need to run php as a deamon to retain cache between pages hits?
Then I would need to configure my webserver to run cgi-fcgi for all 
*.php scripts
on my server. Is that right?

So here is what I have done to test if my understanding is ok


I wrote a simple php page /tmp/test.php

<?php
echo "Hello World";
?>
chmod 777 /tmp/test.php

I built php with --enable-fastcgi than I ran it from command line
./php -b 127.0.0.1:9966

Then I attempted to use cgi-fcgi to run test.php

<degobah 10:54:34># /usr/local/bin/cgi-fcgi -connect 127.0.0.1:9966 
/root/test.
php
Status: 404
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.9

No input file specified.
<degobah 10:54:37>#

So, any idea on where my disconnect is? Am I starting php correctly, am 
I envoking cgi-fcgi correctly?

Thanks,
-James
