 * Hello, Thank you for creating this plugin. It is very useful to me on many sites.
 * I am having an issue on one server where I have a different setup from a normal`
   mod_php` LAMP stack. On this server I have Apache2 with `mod_fastcgi` connecting
   to PHP5-FPM.
 * When I tried to enable falcon engine, I was directed to [this page](http://www.wordfence.com/blog/2014/05/nginx-wordfence-falcon-engine-php-fpm-fastcgi-fast-cgi/)
   to configure Nginx + php5-fpm manually.
 * Are there equivalent instructions for Apache2 + FastCGI + PHP5-FPM? I don’t know
   enough about Nginx to translate the settings myself.
 * I’m not sure what to do, and I would like to use Falcon Engine if possible. Thank
   you.

 * Hi Andrew,
 * We try to detect if you’re using Nginx and if we detect that then we show you
   a suggested config for Nginx.
 * It sounds like on your configuration that you can use a regular .htaccess and
   Apache will interpret that. Specifically your apache needs to pay attention to
   the mod_rewrite rules that we add to .htaccess.
 * So if we could give you a way to force Falcon to generate an Apache .htaccess
   for you, do you think that would work
 * Regards,
 * Mark.

 * Yes, I think that would work. The WordPress settings in .htaccess work as expected.
   Thank you for the quick response!

 * OK, so we might be able to improve our detection, but for now I’m going to add
   a switch at the bottom of the Wordfence options in the advanced area that lets
   you force Falcon to assume you’re using Apache and update .htaccess.

 * Hi,
 * I am having a similar issue where Wordfence is detecting Nginx for my WordPress
   installation. However I cannot find the option you mention to force Apache configuration.
 * Has this been added yet?
 * Thanks,
    Gerard
