Re: Problem with CGI::Fast process

Hi, David:

Thank you so much for your information. so the problem looks quite
normal, right? I am using FCGI on a webhosting server, so I don't have
access to the httpd.conf..  Is there any ways by configuring .htaccess
to terminate the FastCGI process whenever it encounters a fatal
errors(i.e. can not pass strictness checking under Perl) so that this
FCGI process won't hassle the server too much?? FastCgiConfig
directive seems only available from server configuration..??

Anyway, I will not touch the FCGI script too often in the later,
thanks for your suggestions.. :-)

Best,
LH
