+=head1 WEB SERVER CONFIGURATIONS
+
+=head2 Apache 1.x, 2.x
+
+Apache requires the mod_fastcgi module.  The following config will let Apache
+control the running of your FastCGI processes.
+
+    # Launch the FastCGI processes
+    FastCgiIpcDir /tmp
+    FastCgiServer /var/www/MyApp/script/myapp_fastcgi.pl -idle-timeout 300 -processes 5
+    
+    <VirtualHost *>
+        ScriptAlias / /var/www/MyApp/script/myapp_fastcgi.pl/
+    </VirtualHost>
+    
+You can also tell Apache to connect to an external FastCGI server:
+
+    # Start the external server (requires FCGI::ProcManager)
+    $ script/myapp_fastcgi.pl -l /tmp/myapp.socket -n 5
+    
+    # Note that the path used in FastCgiExternalServer can be any path
+    FastCgiIpcDir /tmp
+    FastCgiExternalServer /tmp/myapp_fastcgi.pl -socket /tmp/myapp.socket
+    
+    <VirtualHost *>
+        ScriptAlias / /tmp/myapp_fastcgi.pl/
+    </VirtualHost>

+                "max-procs"    => 5,
+                "idle-timeout" => 20
+            )
+        )

+    
+You can also run your application at any non-root location.
