[pkg-lighttpd] Bug#482601: lighttpd: Fails to start at all if a FastCGI responder fails

[Paul LeoNerd Evans]

Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.19-4
Severity: normal

One of my FastCGI responder processes fails to start. This is fine, this
is my problem. But this seems to cause the entire lighttpd to start at
all, meaning not only that responder, but all of any of my virtual sites
cannot function.

Surely it can fail a little more gracefully than this?

You can find out if it is the right one by executing 'php -v' and it should display '(cgi-fcgi)' in the output, NOT '(cgi)' NOR '(cli)'.
For more information, check http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/Docs%3AModFastCGI#preparing-php-as-a-fastcgi-programIf this is PHP on Gentoo, add 'fastcgi' to the USE flags.
