[Fastcgipp-users] FastCGI++ in daemon with lighttpd configuration error

[Michael Bend]

FastCGI++-users,

I am currently attempting to use the FastCGI++ (version 2.1) library
within an application I am writing. The application will run as a
daemon on a linux machine, with a status webpage served through
lighttpd. I'm intending to use the FastCGI++ interface to
periodically, automatically update the status webpage.

I have started by adding a thread to my application which creates an
instance of the FastCGI++ Manager, and echos a string literal in
response to any request (essentially the same as the Hello World
example).

However, I cannot seem to access this in the browser, and I suspect I
have incorrectly configured the lighttpd fastcgi module
(/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf included below). The lighttpd error log
records that there is "No such file or directory on unix:
/tmp/Myapp.sock".

What is the correct way of configuring lighttpd to interface with a
daemon implementing the fastcgi++ library?

Thanks,
Mike Bend
