Php – Lighttpd cannot create php-fastcgi.socket

fastcgilighttpdPHP

I have installed FastCGI using yum, and edited my lighttpd.conf, but when restarting the server I receive this error.

2009-06-24 12:44:43: (log.c.97) server started 
2009-06-24 12:44:43: (mod_fastcgi.c.924) bind failed for: unix:/var/run/lighttpd/php-fastcgi.socket-0 No such file or directory 
2009-06-24 12:44:43: (mod_fastcgi.c.1365) [ERROR]: spawning fcgi failed. 
2009-06-24 12:44:43: (server.c.902) Configuration of plugins failed. Going down.

The concerned part of my lighttpd.conf is:

fastcgi.server             = ( ".php" =>
                               ( "localhost" =>
                                 (
                                  #"socket" => "/var/run/lighttpd/php-fastcgi.socket",
                                  #"bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi"
                                   "socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket",
                                   "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi"
                                 )
                               )
                            )

Thanks ever so much.

Check that lighttpd has permission to write to /var/run/lighttpd
