[Catalyst] Help Deploying on mod-fcgi Rather than mod_fastcgi

[Mark Hughes]

I should have added that this is a sample of my error.log:

[root at mayfly log]# cat error.log
[Sun Feb 13 11:29:45 2011] [warn] (104)Connection reset by peer: 
mod_fcgid: read data from fastcgi server error.

end of script headers: sumo_fastcgi.pl

[Sun Feb 13 11:33:15 2011] [error] [client 192.168.123.102] Premature 
end of script headers: sumo_fastcgi.pl

This is when using the hjksolutions setup linked in my original message.

Thanks.
