fastCGI: can't apply slot for fcgi-starter

[manarak]

Hello,

one site went down with error 503.

The logs said "can't apply slot for fcgi-starter"

It is a busy site with 3000 uniques a day, 20 pages per unique and complex PHP pages with multiple DB connections, etc.

I'm using ISPConfig3 (latest version) on debian 6, apache 2.2 (Falko's perfect server how-to)

Questions:
1- where is the conf file for fastCGI located?
2- what to change in the file to prevent the site going down again?

Thank you!

/var/www/php-fcgi-scripts and in the apache vhost file.

Please post the output of:

ls -la /usr/sbin/suexec*

And please post the complete error messages from the error.log of the site, there are most likely other messages logged together with this error.

Thank you

I nuked the error log, because the file was huge.
But the same line just got repeated over and over, there was only that error.

ls -la /usr/sbin/suexec outputs "no such file or directory"

Which Linux distribution do you use?
