Configuration Matrix

Web Server API

Web Server API	Web Server Support	Recommendation
CGI	Most of Web Servers	Not recommended performance purposes
FastCGI	Most of popular UNIX web servers (Apache, Ligttpd, nginex). Some web servers like nginex require external application start-up	Recommended API
SCGI	Very limited: Apache, Lighttpd (more?). Implementations usually poor*	Recommended only if FastCGI not available

*) Apache do not support external spawning and works over TCP socket only, Lighttpd implementation buggy.

Worker Models

Mode	API	Cache Support	Recommendations
single process	FastCGI, SCGI, CGI	tcp	Recommended when web server controls process spawning.
thread pool	FastCGI, SCGI	tcp, threaded	Recommended for best performance. Using threaded cache requires execution of single process. Dangerous for memory leaks and crashes
prefork	FastCGI, SCGI	tcp, fork	Recommended for best safety, it may be somehow slower then threaded. Using fork cache requires execution of single "parent" process. Best for creating very stable applications
