mod_fcgid question

hi,

i'm using mod_fcgid to run php as a suexec cgi on a debian lenny system.
mod_fcgid version is 2.2 (from debian). although everything seems to
work basically i'm seeing lines like this

[warn] mod_fcgid: stderr: Cache unable to open file for writing:
cache/956287ab2d93bc91ee48c8b4204c93f1

in apache error log. i don't know where this is coming from nor where to
configure anything concerning "cache". on a centos system with a similar
setup i don't have this problem. since i sometimes experience memory
exhaustion problems on the debian system i would like to know if the
above error.log message could be related to them.

thx for advice
matthias

I think your mod_fcgid's IPC dir is not writeable. Check its permissions.

you probably already knew this, but your CGI application is writing
this message to stderr, and mod_fcgid is capturing and logging it;
httpd/mod_fcgid don't generate this message

try searching for the message (starting with "Cache unable"); I just found

you're probably right. i was already suspecting something like this and
should've paid more attention to "stderr".... probably it's just wrong
permissions on a directory in some users webspace and not related to my
memory problems

thx
