In case it helps (because there’s no easy answer when you Google for this as of today)… if you are running OpenBSD 6.8 and have something like this in your /etc/httpd.conf pointing to a FastCGI service:
|
1 2 3 |
location "/*" { fastcgi socket ":3000" } |
This will not work and you’ll get an 500 Internal Server Error error.
If you troubleshoot by say stopping httpd and then starting it via something like httpd -v -v -v -d (or you look at the logs in /var/www/logs/error.log – which didn’t give me anything initially, not sure why) you’ll find an entry like: No such file or directory (500 Internal Server Error).
Not very helpful but it looks like httpd can’t find the FastCGI service. The service is running and I can connect to it (e.g. do a telnet 127.0.0.1 3000).
So what’s the matter? The problem is that with OpenBSD 6.8 the syntax for fastcgi changed. To support non-localhost IPs the syntax has changed so that instead of fastcgi socket ":3000" you now have to specify fastcgi socket tcp 127.0.0.1 3000. Change the line in your config to the correct one and now it will work.

That’s all!
