Hi,

I'm trying to run my Catalyst app as a FastCGI process with Apache2, using the static configuration option.
When I start Apache I get the following error in the Apache error log:

No such file or directory: FastCGI: can't create server "PATH/TO/MY/APP/fastcgi"

However, the fascgi script file does exist at that exact path and it is owned by the same user that runs Apache, and it is executable by everybody.

I found this problem mentioned in the Catalyst Wiki:
http://wiki.catalystframework.org/wiki/deployment/apache_fastcgi:


    >>


   Why does Apache claim myapp_fastcgi.pl doesn't exist when it does?

If you get this error:

|FastCGI: can't start server "/tmp/myapp/script/myapp_fastcgi.pl" (pid 15460), 
execle() failed: No such file or directory
|

when the file *is* there, and its owner is |nobody|, that's just a bad error message from Apache. The real cause is that the shebang line in |myapp_fastcgi.pl| could not be executed.

<<

But I'm not sure I understand it. I can execute the fasccgi script as the same user on that system, so I can't see why the shebang ling couldn't be executed. Does anybody know anything more specific about this error and how to solve it?

BTW: I can also run the app with the catalyst development server on that system, so it's not missing dependencies or anything.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Frank
