[Catalyst] Again: Lighttpd deployment problems as non root

[Alejandro Imass]

Hi,

I understand that your problem is very specific to fastcgi but many,
many times I may be testing something as root using the server script
and then when I try to run with CGI or mod_perl I get a server error.
In my particular case it's because /tmp/appname gets created with root
and then the httpd user can't write to it.

I just thought I'd share this because many times we overlook the
obvious when we are under pressure. I broke my head for several hours
one day with this stupid mistake.

Regards,
Alejandro Imass
