thank you so much Ramiro, I've removed the .fcgi file. the problem turned out to be that the url.rewrite part of the configuration was in my original setup, but was producing a warning and was being ignored because I hadn't uncommented the mod_rewrite module in lighttpd.conf
it's working now! is it normal for the fcgi start command to start 4 processes (as seen in htop)? in addition, it didn't start the processes with the correct pid that i specified in a file... thanks On Apr 7, 5:12 pm, "Ramiro Morales" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sun, Apr 6, 2008 at 6:53 PM, skunkwerk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I'm having trouble running django with lighttpd (I'm not on a shared > > host).
