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
environment

proposed fix
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
