Let chdir be overriden with FCGI_CHDIR #21
Conversation
chdir to directory which holds scripts doesn't work well with some CGIs. Let the FastCGI invoker provide `FCGI_CHDIR` which can be `-` to inhibit chdir, or another place to chdir to.

Hmm, this is a part of the CGI spec so I'd say your scripts are broken (even though I don't like this part of spec either). Not sure if an environment variable is best for this (or a command line option would be better). Also, sorry for sitting on this for so long, this hasn't been a high-priority project for me for some time and now I'm catching up. |

Merged the env var (a command line option would offer quite different behaviour). Thanks. |

Thanks for the merge. :) Finally found the system and install notes for why I wrote this patch: the software in question was lurker, used for mailing-list archives, and needed the cwd to be the document root for the list website. (No idea if this is still true, haven't touched it since, it's just running fine with this patch.) |
