fastcgi problem: runfcgi not creating socket file

[Evan H. Carmi]

Hi,

I am having some trouble trying to setup Django SVN on a shared web host
with lighttpd and flup (Joyent's Shared Accelerator).

I have setup lighttpd and it runs seemingly fine.

I am unable to get the fastcgi socket to be created with the runfcgi
command. In particular, the command I am testing testing with is:

/usr/local/bin/python manage.py --verbosity=2 runfcgi method=prefork
socket="/users/home/carmi/django_projects/binarymanipulations/binarymanipulations.socket
pidfile="/users/home/carmi/django_projects/binarymanipulations.pid

I can run this command without any problems, but a socket file is not
created. (The pidfile is created.) Even with --verbosity=2 I do not get
any error messages.

I have the following in my lighttpd error log file:

2008-02-11 05:49:04: (log.c.75) server started
2008-02-11 05:49:32: (mod_fastcgi.c.1731) connect failed: No such file
or directory on
unix:/users/home/carmi/django_projects/binarymanipulations/binarymanipulations.socket
2008-02-11 05:49:32: (mod_fastcgi.c.2885) backend died; we'll disable it
for 5 seconds and send the request to another backend instead:
reconnects: 0 load: 1
2008-02-11 05:49:34: (mod_fastcgi.c.3496) all handlers for
/binarymanipulations.fcgi/ on /binarymanipulations.fcgi are down.
2008-02-11 05:49:38: (mod_fastcgi.c.2703) fcgi-server re-enabled:
unix:/users/home/carmi/django_projects/binarymanipulations/binarymanipulations.socket

Is there someplace else I can look for some errors or other information
that will help me get this running? Or anything else I should do?

Thanks,
Evan
