Strict fcgi starter script permissions leads to a 500 server error on debian wheezy
short description
Due to the permissions of the fastcgi script directories you get a 500 server error when enabling fast-cgi on a server running debian wheezy after updating to the latest ISPConfig
correct behaviour
Sites should load with fast cgi enabled

The issue looks like it was introduced in this commit: a7c4cb62
After debugging the changes it looks like the directory permissions need to be 555 for fastcgi to work correctly in this setup
A quick patch that makes it function correctly on our server is attached.fcgi-scriptdir-permissions-fix.patch
