I'm working on writing instructions for deploying Django at TextDrive, and so I'm using the Django/lighttpd_FCGI instructions here: https://simon.bofh.ms/cgi-bin/trac-django-projects.cgi/wiki/DjangoFcgiLighttpd
But I'm seeing something extremely odd with my test deployment; even though the sockets exist and have the correct permissions, lighttpd returns an internal server error and complains that it can't connect to the socket. If I remove the 'bin-path', 'min-procs' and 'max-procs' from my lighttpd.conf, however, and execute main.fcgi (which sets the Django environment variables and launches a daemonized django-fcgi.py) from the command line before starting lighttpd, everything works. Anyone got any ideas or tips? -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin
