To use fastcgi, you will likely need to add a module to your webserver.
Apache for example uses mod_fastcgi. Fastcgi documentation and modules for
many web servers are avaliable from www.fastcgi.com.

A sample process managment directive for mod_fastcgi.
Directory /Users/eric/Sites>
        Options +ExecCGI
        AddHandler fastcgi-script .cgi .fcgi
</Directory>

FastCGIServer /Users/eric/Sites/portalep_engine/index.fcgi

mod_fastcgi will then take care of starting, restarting, and killing
the fastcgi program.
