It seems you are trying to use the fcgid module that comes with Apache 
and Linux distributions.
That will not work most probably. You need the original fastcgi from the 
official website http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/ .

I did list steps for both Windows and Linux (you have to compile from 
sources on Linux) in this forums thread somewhere:
