Comments for MT 3.2 and LightTPD/FastCGI tag:bradchoate.com,2008://4- 2006-07-07T08:25:15Z The man, the legend. Movable Type 4.1 tag:bradchoate.com,2005://4.2131-comment:20238 Comment from Casey West on 2006-12-18 Casey West http://caseywest.com Brad, I'm using MT under lighttpd and fastcgi and it's mostly great. I've noticed that after some time the application refuses logins, mostly after a time of inactivity. I suspect that the DB handle becomes stale and that disallows authentication using the web interface. I'd like to find a good solution to this problem.

Presently I send a kill signal to my dispatching FastCGI program, which works but is not ideal.

I'm using MT 3.33 with MySQL 4.1.20, lighttpd 1.4.13, and CGI::Fast version 1.05.

Any insight is appreciated.

Can you tell me what is happening if I try to start lighttpd and get the following message?:

I've got my lighttpd.conf file, my dispatch.fcgi and everything else I believe is necessary to have things running, but can't actually start the lighttpd server.

cpan install FCGI

It requires compilation to install.
