196 packages excluded due to repository priority protections
Setting up Install Process
No package mod_fastcgi available.
Error: Nothing to do

Answer 1

There don't appear to be any official packages for mod_fastcgi. It seems that RedHat would prefer that you use mod_fcgid, but it's missing an important feature, the ability to use an external FastCGI server process (not managed by Apache) such as PHP-FPM.

From http://www.garron.me/en/linux/apache-mpm-worker-php-fpm-mysql-centos.html, I found that you can download unofficial mod_fastcgi RPMs from the RPMForge/RepoForge repository:

sudo rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
sudo rpm -ivh http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum install mod_fastcgi

I have tested them lightly and they work for me.

Answer 2

You should be able to do an install from source. Try following the instructions here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-centos-fedora-apache2-fastcgi-php-configuration.html

I've successfully used these instructions on Centos.
