lighttpd/moinmoin/fastcgi: child exited with status 127

[Rainer Schwarze]

Hi,

I want to run a moinmoin wiki in a jail via lighttpd. When I start the
jail, lighttpd logs an error and stops. When I run it manually, it
starts without problems and I can access the wiki in the browser.
Details below.
It looks like there are certain differences between starting when the
jail starts and starting manually. Which of those would influence this
issue? Can you give me any hints where I should start looking? (I asked
google but didn't get useful results.)

Thanks a lot - best regards,
Rainer
