fastCGI site level configuration

[JonnyWaffles]

Hi friends,

The documentation states the <fastCGI> settings can be edited at the site level, but this does not appear to be the case. While researching the issue I found an old forum post stating fastCGI can only be configured at the applicationHost level. However, it appears only handlers may be configured at the site level. You may want to clarify so no one else goes down this rabbit hole.

Your question shows some misunderstanding.

The forum post talked about where <fastCgi> section can be defined, so applicationHost.config is the sole place, which matches the default section definition,

<section name="fastCgi" allowDefinition="AppHostOnly" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />

However, that has nothing to do with "edited at the site level". Do you know that site/app level settings can be placed in application.config instead of web.config (via location tags for example)? If not, do some experiments in that area to see what the original documentation means.
