Description

lighttpd fails to run the CGI script (no such file or directory) if the
server.document-root is not absolute.

For example:

server.document-root = "webroot"  # doesn't work

server.document-root="/home/guests/pts/d/webroot"  # solves the problem

Moreover, lighttpd sends a bogus HTTP reply if it cannot execute the CGI:

HTTP/1.0 200 OK

Connection: close

Server: lighttpd/1.3.13

The reason of the error etc. is not indicated, and the document body is
missing.

Did you attempt to strace and figure out exactly where it was looking for "webroot?" this one should probably be closed as "worksforme" or "invalid" as there isn't one that's labelled "pebkac."
