+  FASTCGI
+        Running Gitalist in FastCGI mode requires a webserver with FastCGI
+        support (such as apache with mod_fcgi or fcgid). Below is a sample 
+        configuration using Apache2 with fcgid in a dynamic configuration
+        (as opposed to static or standalone mode). More information on these modes and 
+        their configuration can be found at 
+        http://search.cpan.org/~bobtfish/Catalyst-Runtime-5.80025/lib/Catalyst/Engine/FastCGI.pm#Standalone_server_mode
+            In Apache's mime.conf, add AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi (or AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi for mod_fcgi)
+                        
+            And a quick VirtualHost configuration:
+                        
+            <VirtualHost *:80>
+              ServerName gitalist.yourdomain.com
+              DocumentRoot /path/to/gitalist.fcgi
+              <Directory "/path/to/gitalist.fcgi">
+                AllowOverride all
+                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
+                Order allow,deny
+                Allow from all
+              </Directory>
+
+            # Tell Apache this is a FastCGI application
+            <Files gitalist.fcgi>
+                #change the below to fastcgi-script if using mod_fcgi
+                SetHandler fcgid-script
+            </Files>
+          </VirtualHost>
+                        
+            Now to access your gitalist instance, you'll go to gitalist.yourdomain.com/gitalist.fcgi/ 
+            (DO NOT FORGET THAT TRAILING /). If you'd like a different URL, of course, you'll likely want to use 
+            mod_rewrite or equivalent
+                        
+            If you find the need to do some troubleshooting, you can call http://url_to_gitalist.fcgi?dump_info=1
+            and/or add export GITALIST_DEBUG=1 to the top of you gitalist.fcgi file (just below the shebang line).
+                
+            Also, note that  Apache will refuse %2F in Gitalist URL's unless configured otherwise. Make sure
+            "AllowEncodedSlashes On" is in your httpd.conf file in order for this to run smoothly.
