isnstall lighttpd on Cygwin from sources

Has anyone managed to compile and install lighttpd 1.4.10 on Cygwin from source? If so, could you please
tell me how you did it?
Here's what I tried from command prompt:

perl configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

Teh lighttpd.exe file is copied to /usr/sbin but the mod_*.dll files are not and when I start the daemon I get
this in the log file:
2006-03-01 11:29:47: (plugin.c.165) dlopen() failed for: /usr/lib/mod_access.dll No such file or directory

2006-03-01 11:29:47: (server.c.583) loading plugins finally failed

Lighttpd 1.4.10 still hanging on write()

Seems like this happens about once a day, forcing me to restart.
Is there anything else useful I should be providing in this bug
report?

Would it be possible to have the pipes non-blocking?  While FCGI would
probably still be broken, at least the rest of the server would still
respond.

SECURITY: source file retrival on windows


Dear users,

the researchers at Secunia have found a vulnerability on lighttpd on
windows. All versions running on windows up to 1.4.10 are affected.

http://secunia.com/advisories/18886/

Please upgrade to 1.4.10a provided by Kevin:

http://www.kevinworthington.com:8181/ 

Please note:

This is a windows specific problem, no other platforms are affected.

The fix is in svn for some time now and will be (in a modified form) be
part of 1.4.11.

    Jan

fastcgi authorizer howto

Is anyone familiar with fastcgi authorizer code?
Is there a good explanation of how it's used (with lighttpd) anywhere?

Thanks!

storage-memcache

Hi,

I'm brand-new to lighttpd, and am in the process of setting up a test
environment. I'm building from source on a Mac OS X Intel-based machine, so
building from source is the only way to go.

Everything is going well enough, though for some reason I'm not able to get
lighttpd to declare storage-memcache as an enabled feature in configuration.

memcached 1.1.12 is installed on my system and working properly, but here's
the relevant snippet from my configure output:

checking for sqlite3... yes
checking SQLITE_CFLAGS... -I/usr/local/include
checking SQLITE_LIBS... -L/usr/local/lib -lsqlite3
checking for gdbm... no
checking for memcache... yes
checking for mc_new in -lmemcache... no
checking for lua... yes
checking for lua-config... no
checking for lua_open in -llua... no
checking for lua... yes
checking LUA_CFLAGS... -I/usr/local/include
checking LUA_LIBS... -L/usr/local/lib -llua -lm

I'm stumped on this -- I can't seem to find a libmemcache on my system,
which may indicate a memcache installation problem of some kind... ?

Thanks in advance for any assistance, would really like to be leveraging
memcache to the max.

Partly URL redirection/proxying to another port

Hello,

Is it possible to redirect requests on a certain url to a local server on a
different port? Something like www.somewhere.com/something to
localhost:8080 and www.somewhere.com/something/extended/version to
localhost:8080/extended/version.
I can't use virtual hosting there I guess, how about url rewriting?
I am trying to run multiple rails instances transparently for users this way
and I can't use subdomains...

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-pcre --with-openssl
make
make install

worked for me. All the dll's are in /usr/lib.

Try `chmod +x /usr/lib/mod_*.dll`, also make sure you are mounted in binary
format.

Bye.

Sure.

$HTTP["host"] == "www.somewhere.com" {
	server.document-root = "/for/everything/except/something/"
	proxy.server = ( "/something" =>
		(
			(
				"host" => "127.0.0.1",
				"port" => 8080
			)
		)
	)

This is probably just normal network traffic slowing down your numbers 
... if you have access to the machine, try replacing the real IP with 
127.0.0.1 and you'll probably see the numbers you're looking for.
