For supporting FastCGI feature into Apache web-server need to install libapache2-mod-fastcgi system package. The package is unavailable in default sources. How to install this package into Debian 8 Jessie?

Check that the non-free repository is enabled by inspecting /etc/apt/sources.list.

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

If non-free is not included then modify the file so that it does.

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian  main non-free

Update your system.

sudo apt-get update

You can now install the package :

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi

    @karavanjo, don't do this; install `libapache2-mod-fcgid` instead (which is available in Debian proper). It's API-compatible with `-fastcgi`, has no licensing problems and has better support in Debian. – kostix Mar 22 '16 at 17:11

An alternative library is libapache2-mod-fastcgi (https://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/).

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi
