So you told it that the URI http://yourserver/tmp/bizmo.fcgi should be  
served by proxying the request to the FastCGI socket located at /var/ 
www/thebizmo/tmp/bizmo.socket

And yet "perl script/bizmo_fastcgi.pl -l /tmp/bizmo.socket -n 5 -p / 
tmp/bizmo.pid -d" tells Catalyst that you want it to listen on a  
socket located at /tmp/bizmo.socket

What do you expect Apache to do in this circumstance? Is /tmp  
symlinked into /var/www/thebizmo/tmp? I don't recommend you to do this  
but I think that is the only way your current configuration would work.

Pick one path and stick to it, you can't just make shit up and expect  
the computer to magically know what you mean.

What do you think the current configuration is meant to do? Unless I'm  
missing something, yes, you need to change the current configuration  
to be consistent about where the FCGI socket is located.
