Dispatcher: fastcgidispatch

fastcgidispatch is the dispatcher for Apache Web servers supporting FastCgi protocol.

It can be started by the Web server or in command line. See FastCGI Installation and Web Server Configuration for more details.
Note: Fastcgidispatch is supported on UNIX™-like platforms only. While fastcgidispatch is known to work on Windows®, it is not recommended and is not supported. For Windows systems, the Genero Dispatcher: isapidispatch dedicated to the Internet Information Services (IIS) Web server is preferred.
