This configuration is a working copy which I have tested on Apache 2.2.x and 2.4.x

I highly recommend you use this version of mod_fastcgi as it works with Apache 2.4.x, fastcgi.com version does not!
https://github.com/ByteInternet/libapache-mod-fastcgi

The fastcgi.com version is 2.4.6, the version I am recommending registers as 2.4.7

To patch mod_fastcgi for use with Apache 2.4.x look at the debian/patches folder. It's not specific to Debian OS so don't let that fool you. I personally use Archlinux.

Of course to compile mod_fastcgi:

#!/bin/sh
## backup each mysql db into a different file, rather than one big file
## as with --all-databases. This will make restores easier.
## To backup a single database simply add the db name as a parameter (or multiple dbs)
 
## Putting the script in /var/backups/mysql seems sensible... on a debian machine that is
## Create the user and directories
# mkdir -p /var/backups/mysql/databases
# useradd --home-dir /var/backups/mysql --gid backup --no-create-home mysql-backup
## Remember to make the script executable, and unreadable by others
