Below is a post I posted recently on the old apparently dying freebsd forums. I thank everyone over there for letting me know that place was dead and that this was the new preferred hangout. I really like the look of this place
I've been using the guide over at nixcraft to install php and lighttpd
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-...cgi-php-server/
Everything compiles and installs as expected but I get an error after I uncomment the fcgi section in lighttpd.conf
#### fastcgi module
## read fastcgi.txt for more info
## for PHP don't forget to set cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 in the php.ini
fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
( "localhost" =>
(
"socket" => "/var/run/lighttpd/php-fastcgi.socket",
"bin-path" => "/usr/local/bin/php-cgi"
)
)
)
I think the bold line is the issue as there is no socket in the location that it is referring to. Unfortunately I have no idea how to create the socket. Below is the output from the php-cgi -v command if that is any help at all.
root@weltall:/usr/ports# php-cgi -v
PHP 5.2.6 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cgi-fcgi) (built: May 24 2008 17:25:53)

Thanks in advance for any help.
