Configuring mod_fastcgi for external GAS

Configure fastCGI for external GAS with the mod_fastcgi module for versions of Apache prior to 2.4.

If you have GAS on an external server, you must configure mod_fastcgi in your Apache configuration for this. In your Apache configuration file (for example, httpd.conf):

Check that the load module directive for mod_fastcgi is enabled. The hash symbol (#) must be removed from the start of the line. Be aware that your configuration may be different to that shown in the example.
Add the lines to configure fastcgi on the external GAS.

LoadModule fastcgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fastcgi.so

<IfModule fastcgi_module>
  FastCgiExternalServer /gas -idle-timeout 300 -host <gas-server-ip>:<gas-server-port>
  Alias /gas /gas
</IfModule>

Note:

"-idle-timeout" must be greater than REQUEST_RESULT timeout in GAS configuration. [By default: REQUEST_RESULT : 45 seconds, mod_fastcgi -idle-timeout : 300 seconds]
/gas directory is just a virtual directory, no need to create one.
<gas-server-ip> is the address of the remote server where the GAS is running.
<gas-server-port> is the port where fastcgidispatch is listening.
