webservice

I am looking at writing c++ webservice for linux with apache being the webserver.i am working on linux for first time so i needed your help.

Am follwing the instructions given by Fast_Cgi site.





I have downloaded the toolkit "mod_fast_cgi-2.4.6.tar.tar" from the site " http://www.fastcgi.com/drupal/".

Then i followed the instructions given in "INSTALL.AP2" file which is present in toolkit.

I was able to generate “fast_cgi.so file”. Now this file is located in my directory







Configuring httpd.conf



next step is to make changes in my



In http.conf file –

I have added "LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so" in the begining of the httpd.conf file



then they have said to add these things before virtual host directive





FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/

AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi





Sample C++ program



my test program "Testwebservice.cpp" looks like this



#include "fcgi_stdio.h" /* fcgi library; put it first*/



#include



int count;



void initialize(void)

{

count=0;

}



int main(void)

{

/* Initialization. */

initialize();



/* Response loop. */

while (FCGI_Accept() >= 0) {

printf("Content-type: text/html\r\n"

"\r\n"

"<title>FastCGI Hello! (C, fcgi_stdio library)</title>"

"FastCGI Hello! (C, fcgi_stdio library)"

"Request number %d running on host %s\n",

++count, getenv("SERVER_HOSTNAME"));

}

return 0;

}



I feel am missing something in the directive which i added just before the virtual host directive.

could you help me to know what am i missing here.

what is that i have to add in httpd.conf file which will direct the http requests coming to the apache webserver to my c++ application.
