I know its a bit off topic, but I've been trying to get fastcgi configured with 
apache off and on for a week now and I have yet to figure out the specific 
combination.  My httpd.conf looks like this for fcgi:

LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so

<Directory "www/fcgi-bin">
   SetHandler fcgid-script
   Options execCGI
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

<ifModule mod_fastcgi.c>
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi .fcg
Alias /fastcgi-bin "M:\LazProjs\test_projects\test_fpweb\www\pos.fcgi"
FastCgiExternalServer "M:\LazProjs\test_projects\test_fpweb\www\pos.fcgi" -host 
127.0.0.1:2015
</IfModule>

I've downloaded the fcgid .so and put it in the modules folder.

I've tried all manner of combination of directories, changing directories vs. 
settings in httpd.conf, etc.  Just can't seem to get apache configured 
correctly.  Most of what I've been able to find is scattered around in terms of 
any real examples of setting up fastcgi on apache.  The apache server never hits 
the fcgi server for requests.

I convinced the client to let me put a prototype together and I'm about 5 days 
of trying at this point so any suggestion anyone might have about getting 
fastcgi with apache connecting to the lazarus fcgi server would be really 
appareciated. :-)
