+<title>Fossil SCGI</title>
+
+To run Fossil using SCGI, start the [/help/server|fossil server] command
+with the --scgi command-line option.  You will probably also want to
+specific an alternative TCP/IP port using --port.  For example:
+
+<pre>
+fossil server $REPOSITORY --port 9000 --scgi
+</pre>
+
+Then configure your SCGI-aware web-server to send SCGI requests to port
+9000 on the machine where Fossil is running.  A typical configuration for
+this in Nginx is:
+
+<pre>
+location ~ ^/demo_project/ {
+    include scgi_params;
+    scgi_pass localhost:9000;
+    scgi_param SCRIPT_NAME "/demo_project";
+    scgi_param HTTPS "on";
+}
+</pre>
+
+Note that Nginx does not normally send either the PATH_INFO or SCRIPT_NAME
+variables via SCGI, but Fossil needs one or the other.  So the configuration
+above needs to add SCRIPT_NAME.  If you do not do this, Fossil returns an
+error.
