lighttpd keeps sending FastCGI to downed server, causing fastcgi errors.

Added by MetaYii over 12 years ago

I had a PHP server in a web farm with a hw problem so it had crashed. lighttpd detected correctly the condition most of the times, but in other times it still sent the FastCGI request to PHP and got

error: unexpected close of fastcgi connection for script.php

and as far as I can see, this caused a typical lost connection error page in MSIE. I guess lighttpd did not forward the request to another server in the farm, as I would have expected. I think this is a bug in lighttpd, in fact.
