How to run different web pages in C++ and FCGI on Nginx?

Question

I follow the following tutorial to create a web page with C++ and FCGI running on Nginx.

After I run the following command lines, everything works perfect!

g++ main_v1.cpp -lfcgi++ -lfcgi -o hello_world

spawn-fcgi -p 8000 -n hello_world

But this is for one page. If I want to run 2 or 3 pages such as about or contact. How can I do that?

There is 2 ways of doing it:

1. (best way) you re-write your default fastcgi application and add handler for every page/request you need

2. (ugly way) you write 2 additional fastcgi applicaiton and launch them on different ports, then change your nginx.conf to serve specific requests like /about or /contact with different fastcgi applications with proxy_pass directive
