config SPECweb
Test.config
BESIM_INIT_SCRIPT = "/fcgi-bin/besim_fcgi.fcgi"
rather than /var/www/html/fcgi-bin/besim_fcgi.fcgi

The error information is

Apache/2.2.6 (Fedora) Server at 128.153.144.162 Port 80

2008-03-07 05:32:55:936 HttpRequestSched: [ERROR] Bad response (-1). Request was GET /var/www/html/fcgi-bin/besim_fcgi.fcgi?3&0&1204886909&5 HTTP/1.1

Host: 128.153.144.162

IF you GOT 500 INTERNAL ERROR in specweb and in the apache it indicates error:
PHP Warning: fopen(http://128.153.144.162:81/fcgi-bin/besim_fcgi.fcgi?3&6&2821) function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No route to host in /var/www/support/inc.common.php on line 44
Then it probably means your specweb machine's 80 is blocked and only 81 works.

IN SPECWEB, you need both 80 and 81 working on the same machine. SO if firewall and selinux are disabled, that will save you a lot of time.
