-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-0719 2008-01-29 04:52:36 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : mod_fcgid Product : Fedora 7 Version : 2.2 Release : 3.fc7 URL : http://fastcgi.coremail.cn/ Summary : Apache2 module for high-performance server-side scripting Description : mod_fcgid is a binary-compatible alternative to the Apache module mod_fastcgi. mod_fcgid has a new process management strategy, which concentrates on reducing the number of fastcgi servers, and kicking out corrupt fastcgi servers as soon as possible.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:

This update addresses some problems when running mod_fcgid with SELinux in enforcing mode. 1. Improvements to the SELinux policy for dealing with temporary files created and used by FastCGI applications (e.g. attachment handling in moin). 2. Fixing a bug whereby httpd would occasionally fail to restart due to being prevented (by SELinux) from removing the shared memory file used for communication with mod_fcgid. As part of this fix, the shared memory file now defaults to being in the /var/run/mod_fcgid directory rather than the /var/run directory. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog:
