(13) Permission denied: FastCGI can’t create server (problem solved)

Friday, August 7th, 2009

I was getting the following error on my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 server.  (RHEL 5)

[Thu Aug 06 17:48:03 2009] [crit] (13)Permission denied: FastCGI:
can’t create server “(Fast CGI File)”: bind() failed [(location of FastCGI location)]

I fixed this by:

chmod o+x /parent/directory/of/fastcgi

EG:
If Fast CGI was /var/log/httpd/fastcgi,
I’d do chmod o+x /var/log/httpd.

Worked fine.  (Kudos to my coworker who originally proposed the idea and it worked– Mentioning it again ’cause I did it again.)

Did it help you? Leave a comment! :)
