You could also handle this issue without modifying Lighttpd by
redirecting stderr to a file. Put this in your Haskell program:
import System.Posix.Files
import System.Posix.IO
stderrToFile :: FilePath -> IO ()
stderrToFile file =
do let mode = ownerModes `unionFileModes` groupReadMode
`unionFileModes` otherReadMode
fileFd <- openFd file WriteOnly (Just mode) (defaultFileFlags {
append = True })
dupTo fileFd stdError
return ()
main = do stderrToFile "my-fastcgi-log.log"
runFastCGI ...
Another way is to have a small wrapper shell script around your
FastCGI program that does the same redirection.
