Re: RB on Lighttpd + FastCGI - spawning fcgi failed

[BSmith]

I temporarily disabled SELinux with the command 'setenforce 0' and started 
lighttpd again. It has now started successfully.

It seems that lighttpd recommends fastcgi for 
WSGI: http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd2/wiki/Howto_WSGI

Does that mean the lighttpd is not recommended? This is not reflected in 
the documentation. In order to get the system working, I have abandoned 
lighttpd and reverted to Apache.

Thanks for your help!

RB on Lighttpd + FastCGI - spawning fcgi failed

[BSmith]

Hi everyone, I hope that someone can help and this isn't too obvious a 
question. I have been trying everything I can think of to get things 
straight here.

The RB system I am trying to set up is on Fedora 22 with lighttpd + 
mod_fastcgi and MariaDB.

My lighty configuration is the file generated by the RB setup script with a 
couple of mods to use the lighttpd default error log and access log 
locations.

Extract from my lighttpd.conf file (hope I cover all the relevant parts, 
everything else is untouched from time of site creation):
server.document-root = "/var/www/lighttpd/"
server.errorlog  = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"
accesslog.filename   = "/var/log/lighttpd/access.log"


fastcgi.debug = 1


$HTTP["host"] =~ "rb\.senceive\.com" {
# This is not used directly, it is superceded by our aliases below.
server.document-root = "/var/www/rb-site/htdocs"
#server.errorlog  = "/var/www/rb-site/logs/lighttpd-error.log"
#accesslog.filename   = "/var/www/rb-site/logs/lighttpd-access.log"


fastcgi.debug = 1
fastcgi.server = (
"/reviewboard.fcgi" => (
"main" => (
"bin-path" => "/var/www/rb-site/htdocs/reviewboard.fcgi",
"socket" => "/var/www/rb-site/tmp/fastcgi.sock",
"check-local" => "disable",
)
),
)

And when I launch lighttpd I get the following entries in the 
lighttpd/error.log file:

2015-10-27 17:37:12: (log.c.194) server started
2015-10-27 17:37:12: (mod_fastcgi.c.1364) --- fastcgi spawning local \n\
tproc: /var/www/rb-site/htdocs/reviewboard.fcgi \n\tport: 0 \n\tsocket /var/
www/rb-site/tmp/fastcgi.sock \n\tmax-procs: 4
2015-10-27 17:37:12: (mod_fastcgi.c.1388) --- fastcgi spawning \n\tport: 0 \
n\tsocket /var/www/rb-site/tmp/fastcgi.sock \n\tcurrent: 0 / 4
2015-10-27 17:37:12: (mod_fastcgi.c.974) bind failed for: unix:/var/www/rb-
site/tmp/fastcgi.sock-0 Permission denied
2015-10-27 17:37:12: (mod_fastcgi.c.1396) [ERROR]: spawning fcgi failed.
2015-10-27 17:37:12: (server.c.1025) Configuration of plugins failed. Going 
down.

I am at a loss as to what is going wrong here. My understanding is that 
lighttpd should execute the reviewboard.fcgi script when it starts up, but 
it appears to be failing to launch.

I attempted to launch reviewboard.fcgi without any parameters from the 
command line which highlighted that the flup package was not installed as I 
expected via 'easy_install ReviewBoard'. I then ran 'easy_install flup' 
which seems to have corrected that problem.

Lighttpd runs as the user 'lighttpd' on this system. Some directory 
listings:
[admin@localhost rb-site]$ ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Oct 27 17:31 conf
drwxr-xr-x. 2 lighttpd root6 Oct 27 15:57 data
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root   70 Oct 27 15:57 htdocs
drwxr-xr-x. 2 lighttpd lighttpd6 Oct 27 17:36 logs
drwxrwxrwx. 2 lighttpd lighttpd   25 Oct 27 17:20 tmp
[admin@localhost rb-site]$ ls -l tmp
total 0
-rw-r--r--. 1 lighttpd lighttpd 0 Oct 27 17:20 fastcgi.sock
[admin@localhost rb-site]$ ls -l logs
total 0

I manually created the file tmp/fastcgi.sock in order to try and get it to 
work. I see the same error messages in the lighty error log regardless of 
whether this file is present or not.

Hope this all makes sense to somebody! I am honestly a bit lost with 
fastcgi stuff, and am not sure where to go from here. Thanks!

Re: RB on Lighttpd + FastCGI - spawning fcgi failed

[Christian Hammond]

Hi,

Is SELinux enabled? Sometimes that can cause these permission issues.

For what it's worth, lighttpd + fastcgi isn't a recommended setup these
days. WSGI is the future of Python web applications, and we strongly
encourage working toward moving to a compatible WSGI implementation when
using Review Board.

Christian
