php-cgi: Command not found.

:-) php is not needed there (at least I hope so).

The confusing part is, I can start it in the jail manually with

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd start

So all the required things should be there.

Are there any debug flags which I could activate to get more output from
lighttpd? I probably don't need those which log requests etc. There
don't seem to be any as command line parameter?
