Rails - May 2005 - lighttpd + fastcgi socket connection error

I''ve managed to get lighttpd with fastcgi working on FreeBSD 5.3 a
couple times, but every time I restart lighttpd, it doesn''t work
anymore.  I get the following message in my error log:
2005-05-06 23:55:05: (mod_fastcgi.c.1466) connect failed: 8 Connection
refused 61 0 /tmp/rails.socket-3

I''ve never been able to figure out what causes that problem.  And it
really frustrates me that sometimes it''ll run fine, but usually not. 
Can anyone tell me how to make it work, and explain to me what''s going
on so I know how to do things right in the future?

Also, I occasionally get a 500 Internal Server Error, with the
following in the logs:
2005-05-07 00:32:01: (mod_fastcgi.c.1921) unexpected end-of-file
(perhaps the fastcgi process died): pid: 6342 fcgi-fd: 8 remote-fd: 6
2005-05-07 00:32:01: (mod_fastcgi.c.2743) child exited, pid: 6342 status: 0 
2005-05-07 00:32:01: (mod_fastcgi.c.2782) response not sent, request
