does anyone know of any place that tells me how to install mod_fastcgi on a linux vps, centos 4 server for apache?

from the INSTALL file:

1. From the mod_fastcgi directory, compile the module.
$ cd <mod_fastcgi_dir>
<mod_fastcgi_dir>$ apxs -o mod_fastcgi.so -c *.c
2. Install the module.
<mod_fastcgi_dir>$ apxs -i -a -n fastcgi mod_fastcgi.so
