Hi! I am trying to use fastcgi in OpenBSD 5.7 httpd but keep getting "500 Internal Server Error".
httpd.conf: ###################################################### ext_addr="*" server "www.domain.com" { listen on $ext_addr tls port 443 tls dhe "auto" connection { max requests 500, timeout 3600 } location "/cgi-bin/*" { fastcgi socket "/run/fcgi.socket" root "/" } root "/htdocs/www.domain.com" } ###################################################### /var/www/cgi-bin/fcgi-test.cgi: ###################################################### #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI::Fast; $ENV{FCGI_SOCKET_PATH} = "/run/fcgi.socket"; $ENV{FCGI_LISTEN_QUEUE} = 100; my $cnt=0; while ($q = new CGI::Fast) { print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"; print "<head>\n<title>FastCGI Demo Page (perl)</title>\n</head>\n"; print "<h1>FastCGI Demo Page (perl)</h1>\n"; print "This is coming from a FastCGI server.\n<BR>\n"; $cnt++; print "This is connection number $cnt\n"; } ###################################################### I was able to start a simple cgi (print "hello world\n";) by using slowcgi so I believe my perl environment in chroot is more or less OK. Also the script itself seems to be OK: # chroot /var/www /usr/bin/perl -c /cgi-bin/fcgi2.cgi /cgi-bin/fcgi2.cgi syntax OK Things that might be part of the problem: - No socket file "/run/fcgi.socket" is being created when I start httpd. - Nothing was ever written to /var/www/logs/error.log, not even when I tried to start httpd with a boguous httpd.conf. However, /var/www/logs/access.log has logs from access to static html. Any hints about where to find out more about the "500 Internal Server Error"? I have no more hints to follow and I could not find one single example of a working httpd.conf along with a perl fastcgi example in the web. All discussions seem to explain how to use cgi with slowcgi instead. But that's not what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance! T.
