Tips to open FCG file
Can't open the FCG file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open FCG files as well as a list of programs that support FCG files.
FCG file extension
The FCG file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the FCG files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the FCG file on each system platform.
What is FCG file?
The file with the extension FCG is the Developer Files file type. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. FastCGI Script is most often found on 2 operating systems. These systems consist of Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs. Sublime Text, FastCGI will apply when it is not possible to use Coda.
How to open FCG file?
The main problem with FastCGI Script is that the FCG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FCG files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FCG file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Coda
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Coda is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Coda in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file FCG.
Programs to open FCG file
Remember to download programs supporting FCG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Coda with FCG files
If, despite the installed application, the FCG file does not start in the Coda application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FCG file with the Coda program.
Step 3. Update Coda to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Coda program with the FastCGI Script file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FCG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the FCG file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FCG or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected FCG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FCG files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FCG file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FCG files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FCG file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FCG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FCG file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
