Re: apache restart

Steffen,

You're trying to overwrite, and the OS has it locked.  Maybe you can rename it:

   mv /usr/lib/cgi-bin/test2.fcgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/test2.fcgi.bak
   cp test2.fcgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/test2.fcgi
   [ kill test2.fcgi process or whatever ]
   rm /usr/lib/cgi-bin/test2.fcgi.bak

David.
