-There is a patch to Trac 0.8.1 available adding support for the [http://www.fastcgi.com/ FastCGI] interface. Like TracModPython, this allows trac to remain resident, and is faster than external CGI interfaces which must start a new process for each page view. However, unlike mod_python, it is able to support [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/suexec.html SuEXEC]. Additionaly, it is supported by much wider variety of webservers.

+The FastCGI front-end was developed primarily for use with alternative webservers, such as [http://www.lighttpd.net/ lighttpd].  To use TracFastCgi with lighttpd, add the following to your lighttpd.conf:
+{{{
+fastcgi.server = ("trac.fcgi" => ( "trac.fcgi" => ( "socket" => "/tmp/trac-fastcgi.socket",
+                                                    "bin-path" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi",
+                                                    "bin-environment" => ("TRAC_ENV" => "/path/to/env/trac")
+                                                  )
+                                 )
+                 )
+alias.url = ( "/cgi-bin/" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/", "/trac/" => "/usr/share/trac/htdocs/")
+url.rewrite-final = ("^/trac(.*)" => "/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi$1", "^/trac/?$" => "/trac/timeline/")
+}}}
+
+Note that you will need to add a new entry to ''fastcgi.server'' for each separate Trac instance that you wish to run.
+
+Relaunch lighttpd, and browse to http://''server''/trac/ to access Trac.
