Package: libapache-mod-fastcgi Version: 2.4.2-6 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
It would appear that when you install libapache-mod-fastcgi, it includes a line in /etc/apache/conf.d as: FastCgiIpcDir /var/lib/apache/fastcgi /var/lib/apache/fastcgi is created by the package and chowned to www-data:www-data as seen below: # ls -lad /var/lib/apache/fastcgi/ drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 Jul 6 18:54 /var/lib/apache/fastcgi/ However, when you subsequently attempt to restart apache, you get the following error: # /etc/init.d/apache restart Configuration syntax error detected. Not reloading. Syntax error on line 4 of /etc/apache/conf.d/fastcgi.conf: FastCgiIpcDir /var/lib/apache/fastcgi: access for server (uid 65534, gid 65534) failed: write not allowed It would appear that perhaps the module was compiled expecting the server to be running as nobody:nogroup rather than www-data:www-data, which is the case in Debian. You can of course simply make the /var/lib/apache/fastcgi folder writeable by the "nobody" user, or the "nogroup" group, which allows apache to start, but fastcgi scripts still fail because the webserver cannot write to the fastcgi folder (it creates the dynamic/ folder owned by nobody and mode 0700) As such, I'm at an impasse for getting fastcgi to work. Removing the package or leaving /var/lib/apache/fastcgi as owned by nobody at least gets apache working again, as a workaround. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.29.022505 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages libapache-mod-fastcgi depends on: ii apache-common 1.3.33-6 support files for all Apache webse ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
