Make sure the RUN_ONCE config option is set.  Check the error logs.
Maybe the process is dying after serving one request for some reason.
Try looking at "ps axf" output.  After accessing the demo once you
should see a "fcgi" process (the manager) and it should have at least
one child (the Quixote demo application).

The speed difference between FastCGI is pretty huge.  You should know
when it's working correctly.
