i'm trying to deploy a project on apache2. first, i tried by hand with

and i get this in my error log:

exist: /var/www/Shell/script/shell_fastcgi.pl/main
<http://shell_fastcgi.pl/main>
then, i tried this, pretty much verbatim from Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI pod:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/Shell
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
<Directory /var/www/Shell>
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>
<Files shell_fastcgi.pl <http://shell_fastcgi.pl>>
SetHandler fastcgi-script
</Files>
</VirtualHost>
and i get this in my error log:
[Sun Mar 13 08:48:37 2011] [error] [client 192.168.15.117] client denied
by server configuration: /var/www/Shell/main
i'm pretty sure that the second config is wrong (as there's no main in
the root there and it's not running the fastcgi script) however the
former config looks like it almost should work? btw, i haven't modified
the fastcgi.pl <http://fastcgi.pl> script from the default that catalyst
created for me.

I moved over to Nginx a while ago, and when I used Apache, I created the
Catalyst app as an external process, rather than a static process.
However, I've just tweaked on of my old Apache virtual host files so
that it creates the app as a static process:
---
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin hostmas...@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/public_html/root
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
# Allow Apache to serve static content.
Alias /static /var/www/example.com/public_html/root/static
<Location /static>
SetHandler default-handler
ExpiresDefault "modification plus 1 year"
</Location>
FastCgiServer
/var/www/example.com/public_html/script/example_fastcgi.pl -processes 3
Alias / /var/www/example.com/public_html/script/example_fastcgi.pl/
LogLevel debug
ErrorLog /var/www/example.com/logs/error_log
CustomLog /var/www/example.com/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

You can find more information about the different FastCGI application
types here:
http://www.fastcgi.com/mod_fastcgi/docs/mod_fastcgi.html
The Catalyst Advent Calendar also contains an article about FastCGI
deployment:
http://www.catalystframework.org/calendar/2006/16
The example in the Advent Calendar runs the app as an external process.
Here's a copy of one of my old external Apache Virtual Host files:
---
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin hostmas...@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/public_html/root
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
# Allow Apache to serve static content.
Alias /static /var/www/example.com/public_html/root/static
<Location /static>
SetHandler default-handler
ExpiresDefault "modification plus 1 year"
</Location>
# Display friendly error page if the FastCGI process is not running.
Alias /_errors /var/www/example.com/public_html/root/error-pages
ErrorDocument 500 /_errors/500.htm
# Connect to the external server.
FastCgiExternalServer /var/run/example.fcgi -socket
/var/run/example.socket
Alias / /var/run/example.fcgi/
LogLevel debug
ErrorLog /var/www/example.com/logs/error_log
CustomLog /var/www/example.com/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

To start the app as an external process (or 3), you need something like
this:
/var/www/example.com/public_html/script/example_fastcgi.pl -n 3 -l
/var/run/example.socket -p /var/run/example.pid -d -e
Alternatively, you can manage it with a suitable script. Here's an
Ubuntu init script that uses start-stop-daemon:
---
#!/bin/sh -e
# Start a Catalyst Example application under FastCGI
#
# Set the following variables:
APPNAME=example
APPDIR=/var/www/example.com/public_html
PROCS=1
# Do not alter the following variables:
UNIXNAME=$(echo $APPNAME | perl -pe 's/::/_/;$_=lc')
DAEMON=$APPDIR/script/${UNIXNAME}_fastcgi.pl
# Define LSB log_* functions.
# Depend on lsb-base (>= 3.0-6) to ensure that this file is present.
. /lib/lsb/init-functions
# Check if the PIDDIR directory exists.
if [ -d /var/run ] ; then
PIDDIR=/var/run
elif [ -d /tmp ] ; then
PIDDIR=/tmp
else
log_daemon_msg "Could not find suitable PID directory."
exit 0
fi
# Check if the FastCGI script exists.
if [ ! -r $DAEMON ] ; then
log_daemon_msg "Could not find FastCGI script for '$DAEMON'"
exit 0

# Set location for PID and socket files.

SOCKET=$PIDDIR/${UNIXNAME}.socket
