I am running the version of softwares mentioned in subject. Apache was installed from standard centos repo, fastcgi was install from http://centos.karan.org/kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo and PHp was manually compiled and install to /usr/local/php5-fastcgi.

I keep getting 5xx Server errors when i try to visit a url such as http://vantagefx.com/affiliate/merchants/ , (and i am not using suexec btw).

and if i manually execute the code of

/usr/local/php5-fcgi/bin/php /var/www/html/php530-files/scripts/imp.php 

it executes just fine, no errors, no warnings, no notices.

[EDIT]

PHP Processes

ps aux | grep php

I also created a phpinfo.php inside php530-files dir and tried accessing that, still no luck, 503 Service Unavailable and log was:

[Wed Sep 08 08:27:45 2010] [notice] mod_fcgid: call /var/www/html/php530-files/phpinfo.php with wrapper /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/php-fcgi-starter

See, this process did not terminate due to any communication error or such but i still get 5xx errors.

Is /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/php-fcgi-starter executable, and is it and the directory it's in owned by the web server user?

Found it! In my case i was using wrong php binary in /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/php-fcgi-starter, it should have been php-cgi.

Works like a charm with:

#!/bin/sh
PHP_CGI=/usr/local/php5-fcgi/bin/php-cgi
PHP_INI=/etc/php-fastcgi.ini
export PHP_FCGI_TIMEOUT=1200
export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=10
export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=1000
exec $PHP_CGI -c $PHP_INI
