Lighttpd

If you remove the bin-path?

nitrox,

So, we disabled bin-path and now lighttpd starts, but when we try and visit a PHP page, the following is logged in the lighttpd error log:

2011-04-13 14:43:32: (mod_fastcgi.c.2906) establishing connection failed: Connection refused socket: tcp:192.168.167.82:8080
2011-04-13 14:43:32: (mod_fastcgi.c.2912) backend is overloaded; we'll disable it for 1 seconds and send the request to another backend instead: reconnects: 0 load: 1
2011-04-13 14:43:34: (mod_fastcgi.c.2854) fcgi-server re-enabled: tcp:192.168.167.82:8080

Also, the response is 503 - Server Not Available. Do we have to start php-cgi or anything special on the app server (192.168.167.82)?

Who else is going to start it? ;)

Sorry, I am nobo, can you give an example, of how we start it on the PHP server? It is simply:

$ php-cgi &

Looking at man php, I see the following as well:

$ php -b address:port
Bind Path for external FASTCGI Server mode (CGI only).

Should I use php -b or just php-cgi? Thanks.

E.g. spawn-fcgi.

So, getting close. Now I am getting: "No input file specified."

The web server (192.168.167.81) has lighttpd installed with the following config:

fastcgi.server             = ( ".php" =>
                               ( "192.168.167.82" =>
                                 (
                                   "host" => "192.168.167.82",
                                   "port" => 8080,
                                   "check-local" => "disable",
                                   "disable-time" => 3
                                 )

exit $RETVAL

Think we figured out the problem, the web files have to both be on the web server and application server. Is there anyway around that? That is a nightmare to manage.

maybe nfs?

Or git or rsync, simple push to all machines should do the trick.
