Hello!

	I have an apache (2.2.3) with mod_fastcgi (2.4.2) on frontend server
and php on backend server. It works good but I'm wondering why apache
needs to have php file on local filesystem. In mod_fastcgi's docs is
wrote that "The filename does not have to exist in the local
filesystem.". Is it true?

When I have php file only on a backend server apache wrote to log file:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
my_station - - [25/Jan/2008:14:14:40 +0100] "GET /check.php HTTP/1.1"
404 208 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1)
Gecko/20061206 BonEcho/2.0"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

But if I add (for example) empty file (check.php) on a frontend server
all works fine. What can I do to change this behavior?

This is my (mod_fastcgi) config file on apache:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so

FastCGIExternalServer   /var/www/cgi-bin/php -host ip_backend:32001
-idle-timeout 240 -appConnTimeout 0

Action                  php-fastcgi             /cgi-bin/php

AddType                 application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType                 application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType                 application/x-httpd-php .php5

AddHandler              php-fastcgi             .php
AddHandler              php-fastcgi             .php4
AddHandler              php-fastcgi             .php5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for any help.

Andrzej
