After hours of frustration with the ruby-openid lib we got a much faster and *stable* production system running with SCGIÂ instead of FastCGI.
Even if SCGi is not as well known as SCGI – save yourself from a lot of headache and don’t put too much effort in getting FastCGI running…! For us FastCGI-Processes caused problems with external connections f.ex. to OpenID Providers and while including RSS-Feeds.

SCGI install and configuration tool 15min in the whole. One small disadvantage: To keep the process running on our Solaris Server  an additional job is required. Anyway – Cheers to Zed Shaw for coding SCGI!

Some facts:

• Simultaneous support for Apache1, Apache2, and lighttpd on OSX, Linux, FreeBSD and Win32.
• Same performance as FastCGI and better performance than other methods.
• Is a single cross-platform Ruby script that even runs on win32 (with some restrictions).
• Works with SCGI modules for Apache, Apache2, and Lighttpd webservers.
• Simple to install, run, and configure.
• tbc..
