Hi

I have just made the transition from apache to lighttpd.

At seemingly random times the /usr/sbin/lighttpd -f
/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf process dies. The \_ /usr/local/bin/php-cgi
sub processes are still running, but without their parent, the webserver
goes down.

The error log yields no information. What could cause the main lighttpd
process to die like this?

lighttpd.conf
================================

fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => ((
"socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket",
"bin-path" => "/usr/local/bin/php-cgi",
"max-procs" => 5,
"bin-environment" => (
"PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "10",
"PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "10000"
)
)))
