Apache config:

# Without fastcgi
AddHandler php5-fastcgi .php
Action php5-fastcgi /cgi-bin/php.fcgi
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

# with fastcgi
FastCgiIpcDir /tmp

AddHandler php5-fastcgi .php
Action php5-fastcgi /cgi-bin/php.fcgi
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

<Location /cgi-bin/php.fcgi>
	SetHandler fastcgi-script
	Options +ExecCGI
</Location>

With the fastcgi config, php-cgi processes are now under httpd:

fcgid

fcgid needs to be installed separately from apache: http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/

Apache config:

FcgidMaxProcesses 100
FcgidIPCDir /tmp
FcgidPassHeader HTTP_AUTHORIZATION
FcgidIdleTimeout 620

<Location />
	   AddHandler fcgid-script .php
	   Options +ExecCGI
	   FcgidWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/php.fcgi .php
	   Order allow,deny
	   Allow from all
</Location>

The wrapper script is the same as the one used on mod_fastcgi

spawn-fcgi

haven't tried this myself on apache:

Spawn-fcgi process

/usr/bin/spawn-fcgi -f /usr/bin/php-cgi -s /tmp/php.socket -u apache -g apache

Apache config

<VirtualHost nixcraft.com:80>
	ServerAdmin webmaster@nixcraft.com
	DocumentRoot /webroot/http
	ServerName nixcraft.com
	ErrorLog logs/nixcraft.com-error_log
	CustomLog logs/nixcraft.com-access_log common
	AddHandler php5-fastcgi .php
	FastCgiExternalServer /webroot/http -host 192.168.1.10:9000
