Description

:Homepage:
http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/scgi-cgi/wiki
scgi-cgi is a SCGI application to run normal cgi applications. It doesn't
make CGI applications faster, but it allows you to run them on a different
host and with different user permissions (without the need for suexec).
scgi-cgi is released under the `MIT license <http://git.lighttpd.net/scgi-cgi.git/tree/COPYING>`_
Usage

exec spawn-scgi -n -s /var/run/scgi-cgi.sock -u www-default -U www-data -- /usr/bin/scgi-cgi
