cgi-fcgi or FastCGI?

[Thomas Becker]

Hello,
I installed Dolphin 7 from Boonex and then recognized that Dolphin 7 is giving some optimization suggestions like that:

php setup = cgi-fcgi - WARNING (your PHP setup maybe very inefficient, please check it for sure and try to switch to mod_php, apache dso module or FastCGI)

I'm not sure what is exactly the difference between cgi-fcgi and FastCGI. I thought that PHP is running as FastCGI because in the dropdown menu in Plesk you can select "FastCGI-Application".

Can someone please shed light on the dark?
Thanks.

Running Plesk 10.4.4 on CentOS 6 with PHP 5.3

I guess their text suggesting CGI or FastCGI mode of PHP. Both are supported by Plesk. I would recommend to use FastCGI
