"Access restricted" is expected as Birdseye runs the birdc command in 
restricted mode (read only) as a security measure.

No.

Okay, so 500 from the web server is what we need to track down. Looking 
at your env:

Your -s here looks wrong. It should be the full path and name of your 
socket. E.g.

BIRDC="/usr/bin/sudo /srv/birdseye/bin/birdc -2 -s 
/var/run/bird/bird-rc1-lan1-ipv4.ctl"
