FastCgiIpcDir already defined

On Debian with Apache 1.3x mod_fastcgi creates:

$ cat conf.d/fastcgi.conf 
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
  AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
  #FastCgiWrapper /usr/lib/apache/suexec
  FastCgiIpcDir /var/lib/apache/fastcgi
</IfModule>

And the httpd.conf file loads those conf.d config at the end of
httpd.conf.

Now, if I try and enable a static application with FastCGIServer in
httpd.conf I see:

Syntax error on line 4 of /etc/apache/conf.d/fastcgi.conf:
FastCgiIpcDir /var/lib/apache/fastcgi: already defined as "/etc/apache/logs/fastcgi"
 failed!

Does using FastCGIServer implicitly set FastCgiIpcDir?

I realize I can just place FastCGIServer later in my config.


By the way, I've spent a while reading over the docs, but still
somewhat unclear about how the process manager fits into things.

Are there docs somewhere that give a general overview of the manager
and how it fits in with Apache and the application?

A few very basic questions that I'm still not clear on:

For example, does using FastCGIServer tell the process manager to
start the application process (or processes) and maintain a pool of
connections?  Does Apache connect to the process manager or directly
to the applications?  Are the connections kept open or are the created
for each request?

Thanks,
