Thread 'fcgiwrap won't start'

Hi,

I'm using 13.4-RELEASE-p2 in a TrueNAS jail. It has worked for months without issues. But now I run into the problem that fcgiwrap won't start and I don't know why.

rc.conf:

Code: 
fcgiwrap_enable="YES"
fcgiwrap_user="www"
fcgiwrap_group="www"
fcgiwrap_socket_owner="www"
fcgiwrap_socket_group="www"
fcgiwrap_socket_mode="0660"

Code: 
root@www:~ # service fcgiwrap status
fcgiwrap is not running.
root@www:~ # service fcgiwrap start
Starting fcgiwrap. <5s pause>
chmod: /var/run/fcgiwrap/fcgiwrap.sock: No such file or directory
root@www:~ # service fcgiwrap status
fcgiwrap is not running...
 
Years ago, we had an issue with fcgi where I had to edit the script to make it work for us. I emailed the maintainer who cryptically wrote back why he wasn't going to change it but I don't remember any of it. I think it might be in a zip file backup but I'll try to find it and see if it applies here.

The maintainer of fcgiwrap? The small daemon one needs because nginx does not support cgi, but only fastcgi?

In the other linked thread above is explained the BUG, it is a BUG, a very awkward BUG, but let us call it a lapsus,
everyone makes errors, also stupid errors, every one, also the most intelligent people.

Thanks, but every correction is gone with an upgrade.

On the mean time I discovered that OpenBSD's slowcgi is in the packages. Unfortunately unmaintained. In spite of the
little troubles, it was a delightful simplicity. OpenBSD quality. There is a man page with the flags, and rc.conf is
just configured slowcgi_flags="...", no headache with cryptic rc.d shell scripts. And people wants rc system more complicted!!!!

Now I must see that the CGI works as expected, compatible with classical CGI. I hope.

BTW, I have now nginx working, I like it, it is meager, not bloated like apache, and I like the implementation with
events instead of threads. Perhaps later I try h2o. But to get CGI running was not simple as with apache, but that
is perhaps subjective, I know apache since very long ago.
