CGI Scripts

The CGI interface allows applications to be launched from

web servers in a way that is language-independent and

portable between most web servers. The downside is the

overhead required to launch the CGI script for each request.

Embedded interpreters, such as mod_ perl, avoid this overhead

and provide better performance. Other solutions such as

FastCGI and SpeedyCGI provide a CGI-like environment in a

separate process and also avoid most of this overhead.

Files are regarded as CGI scripts if the handler is set to

cgi-

script, and are executed in accordance with the CGI specifi-

cation. If the suEXEC CGI wrapper is properly installed,

Apache will run scripts as the user and group specified for a

virtual host, or as the owner of a user-specific directory. Oth-

erwise, they will be run as the user and group under which

the web server child processes run.
