Mac OS X - Location of socket for PHP & fastcgi?

Question

I'm running on Mac OS X 10.5.6. I've built PHP 5.2.9 at /usr/local/php and enabled fast_cgi. I'm also using lighttpd as my server. I am confused as where the php fastcgi socket exists. My lighttpd server settings are:

fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
    ( "localhost" =>
     (
      "socket" => "/var/run/lighttpd/php-fastcgi.socket",
      "bin-path" => "/usr/local/php/bin/php-cgi"
     )
    )
)

Its the "socket" => "/var/run/lighttpd/php-fastcgi.socket" that I'm not sure about.

Answer 1

Check your PHP info—I would assume that the location of the socket would be listed in there.

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Answer 2

In OS X usually the sockets are under

/private/var/run/

but it might be different in your case. To be sure again, open Terminal and try

php -i

it should tell you
