I am trying to set up my Apache server with FastCGI as the CGI engine. It will be mostly running PHP, but I may add Perl or something else later. I started from a completely fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 with every update available. I used the install CD to install a LAMP server as part of the system install.
I am using the tutorial at
http://www.chriswiegman.com/2010/06/...ithout-varwww/ to add the FastCGI functionality. I am having some problems with getting everything to work.
The first problem was that apache2-suexec-custom wouldn't accept a different document root. I fixed that by compiling apache2-suexec from source with the document root changed to the correct path.
The next problem is that every php page I load throws a 500 error. Apache's error logs show that FastCGI isn't returning the page data correctly to Apache.

All that should happen when I open test.php in a browser is that "test" should print on the page. The problem is, a 500 error is thrown, and the page is not displayed. As far as I can tell the php file isn't even being accessed at all.
Any idea what could be causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
