I've been checking out various hosts, trying to find one that would be fast enough to handle Drupal well, because Servage is just too slow. I've found one I like the looks of, but for the server API, instead of Apache, it says "CGI/Fast CGI" -- is that not suitable for Drupal? Since it's not Apache, I don't see anything on the phpinfo page about mod-rewrite, since that's apparently an Apache thing.

Thx!

An addition to what I posted above:

I looked a bit deeper into the phpinfo, and came up with this:

SERVER_SOFTWARE Apache/1.3.37 (Unix) mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635.SR1.2 mod_ssl/2.8.28 OpenSSL/0.9.7a PHP-CGI/0.1b

Those are the only "mod_" things I can find; does that mean that clean URLs won't work (with CGI/FastCGI server API)? I hope it doesn't mean that, because I think ubercart requires clean urls.

I'm right now facing a similar issue is my drupal installation as well. I will be glad if someone can provide me some information on this.

When I try with a phpinfo.php page it load with the CGI/FastCGI instead of Apache 2.0 Handler. When I try my drupal root /index.php I get "The service is unavailable." this message. Does that ring a bell to anyone?
