"service lighttpd start" fails with CentOS 5.2
Added by Suzaku almost 15 years ago
Fair warning: I'm fully aware this may be operator error. :)
Lighttpd version: 1.4.22-2.el5.rf
Linux version: CentOS 5.2 (64-bit)
I can start lighttpd from the command line by typing "lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf" and everything works beautifully. Running "service lighttpd start" returns [Ok], but it's not shown in the process list and browsers can't connect.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a known solution?
Thanks,
Steven

Update:
On "service lighttpd start", error.log concludes:
2009-07-20 19:59:04: (log.c.97) server started 2009-07-20 19:59:04: (mod_fastcgi.c.924) bind failed for: unix:/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket-0 Permission denied 2009-07-20 19:59:04: (mod_fastcgi.c.1365) [ERROR]: spawning fcgi failed. 2009-07-20 19:59:04: (server.c.902) Configuration of plugins failed. Going down.
On "lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf", no error is reported.
Both commands are run as root.

Fixed:
mkdir /var/run/lighttpd touch /var/run/lighttpd/php-fastcgi.socket chown -R lighttpd:lighttpd /var/run/lighttpd
Updating socket in lighttpd.conf to point to /var/run/lighttpd/php-fastcgi.socket solves the problem.
