mod_fastcgi dropping spaces in path names

[anonymous]

2008-01-14 14:53:57: (mod_fastcgi.c.998) execve failed for: /Volumes/DataArray/me/Projects/something/public/dispatch.fcgi No such file or directory 2008-01-14 14:53:57: (mod_fastcgi.c.1024) the fastcgi-backend /Volumes/Data Array/me/Projects/something/public/dispatch.fcgi failed to start:

When looking for CWD + "/dispatch.fcgi" in this config:

fastcgi.server = (

".php" => ( (

"min-procs" => 1, "max-procs" => 1, "socket" => CWD + "/tmp/sockets/php.socket",

"bin-path" => "/usr/local/php-fcgi/bin/php-cgi -c " + CWD + "/config/php.ini",

"bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" => "development" ) ) ),

".fcgi" => ( "localhost" => (

"min-procs" => 1, "max-procs" => 1, "socket" => CWD + "/tmp/sockets/fcgi.socket", "bin-path" => CWD + "/public/dispatch.fcgi", "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" => "development" ) ) )

)

The space in the path is dropped rather than escaped. The path is /Volumes/Data\ Array/...

it is how shell (/bin/sh) interprets the spaces. you should either use external spawning (via spawn-fcgi or write out the path yourself using backslash as escaping or include parameter in single quotes:

"bin-path" => "/usr/local/php-fcgi/bin/php-cgi -c /Volumes/Data\ Array/config/php.ini", 
"bin-path" => "/usr/local/php-fcgi/bin/php-cgi -c '/Volumes/Data Array/config/php.ini'", 

lighttpd doesn't provide scripting such as variable replacement in config, however you can use include_shell and do any external scripting you like.
