Installing FastCGI with Apache on Windows

Hello !

I was testing FastCGI from Lighthttpd but, at first glance, I gave up 
from it cause, it opens and closes a tcp/ip connection with the FastCGI 
server. That is, it does not have persistent TCP/IP connections with the 
FastCGI server (at least I could not find out how to make it work).

Then I decided to try Apache. Installed version 2.2.2 and, the http 
server itself is OK but all I need from it is FastCGI. Only that.

Then, I've downloaded 
http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/mod_fastcgi-2.4.2-AP20.dll as 
c:\apache\modules\mod_fastcgi.dll and specified LoadModule 
fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.dll as the last LoadModule directive 
on my httpd.conf file :

LoadModule userdir_module modules/mod_userdir.so
#LoadModule usertrack_module modules/mod_usertrack.so
#LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so
#LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.dll
# 'Main' server configuration
#

However, when I test the configuration, it complains that it cannot find 
that module :

httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 115 of C:/apache/conf/HTTPD.CONF: Cannot load C:
/apache/modules/mod_fastcgi.dll into server: N\xe3o foi poss\xedvel encontrar o
m\xf3dulo especificado.
Note the errors or messages above, and press the <ESC> key to exit.  26...


That file (c:\apache\modules\mod_fastcgi.dll) is there, or course.

If I quote that LoadModule line from configuration, it will go up OK.

Does anyone knows what else I need to do in order to have it up and 
running ?

Would it be because of 2.2.2 version or have I got the wrong dll file ?

On the other hand, the modules folder only has .so extension files. This 
module is really supposed to be a dll one ?

Moreover : are you SURE that it has a persistent TCP/IP connection with 
a remote FastCGI server ?

Thanks in advance for your support !
