lighttpd with fastcgi on centos

[bluethundr]

Hello,

I am trying to setup lighttpd with fastcgi on centos 6.3 using this howto:

http://www.howtoforge.com/installing...-on-centos-5.6

I'm not positive of any differences in setting this up under 6.3 vs 5.6 but I am giving it a shot.

I'm using lighttpd 1.4.31 on a centos 6.3 box:

[root@centos:/etc/lighttpd] #lighttpd -v
lighttpd/1.4.31 (ssl) - a light and fast webserver
Build-Date: Jun  6 2012 13:26:00

[root@centos:/etc/lighttpd] #cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS release 6.3 (Final)

And the only changes I made to get fastcgi working are as follows. in php.ini

cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1

In modules.conf I have:

## FastCGI (mod_fastcgi)
##
include "conf.d/fastcgi.conf"

In conf.d/fastcgi.conf I have:

fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
                   ( "php-local" =>
                     (
                       "socket" =>  "/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket",
                      "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi",
                       "max-procs" => 1,
                       "broken-scriptfilename" => "enable",
                     )
                   ),
                  ( "php-tcp" =>
                     (
                       "host" => "xx.xx.xx.xx",
                      "port" => 9999,
                       "check-local" => "disable",
                       "broken-scriptfilename" => "enable",
                     )
                   ),

                   ( "php-num-procs" =>
                     (
                       "socket" =>  "/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket",
                       "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi",
                       "bin-environment" => (
                         "PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "16",
                         "PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "10000",
                       ),
                       "max-procs" => 5,
                       "broken-scriptfilename" => "enable",
                     )
                   ),
                )

I then restart the lighttpd server and it comes back up again just fine. But the phpinfo page that I created white screens.

But the php info page works on the command line

[root@centos:/var/www/lighttpd] #php phpinfo.php 
<?
  phpinfo();
?>

Can I please get some tips on how to troubleshoot and solve this problem?

Thanks

Why don't you use this guide? It's for CentOS 6.3:
