The front end web server ChrisK> will control things like the port number. There are different ways to run a FasctCGI executable (three if my memory serves me correctly). I have only ever written FasctCGI executables (not in Haskell) when the server accepts a port number at start up, and is started independently of Apache (or whatever). And Apache is told which port numbers it will find the servers on.
