Mailinglists are moved

Dear lighties,

thanks to darix the mailing-lists have a new home now and all previous 
subscribers are added to the new mailing-lists:

* lighttpd <at> lists.lighttpd.net
* lighttpd-announce <at> lists.lighttpd.net
* lighttpd-dev <at> lists.lighttpd.net

The prefixes are the same, just the domain is now  <at> lists.lighttpd.net 
instead of  <at> lists.kneschke.de.

Sorry, that it took so long to bring up the mailing lists again.

cheers,
   Jan

Start up script for lighttpd?

Hi all,

I'm so not good at Unix stuff - a while ago I got a copy of the
/etc/init.d/lighttpd from someone on this list but I lost it.

I tried modifying from another file myself. Somehow it doesn't
start the back end process (Python FCGI) properly. The Python
back-end somehow can not find some modules. But if I run the
same command /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd.conf,
it works just fine.

Can anyone help point out what I'm doing wrong? Below is the file.

The script you sent just starts lighttpd, not the backend process.

What's the exact error message here?

Re[2]: Start up script for lighttpd?

Hello Christian,

In my case, lighttpd starts the fastcgi process automatically.
The exact error:

[root <at> server init.d]# Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/web/webapp.py", line 4, in ?
    import web
ImportError: No module named web
2008-06-14 17:38:27: (mod_fastcgi.c.1025) the fastcgi-backend /web/webapp.py failed to start:

2008-06-14 17:38:27: (mod_fastcgi.c.1032) If you're trying to run PHP as a FastCGI backend, make sure

You can find out if it is the right one by executing 'php -v' and it should display '(cgi-fcgi)' in the output,
NOT '(cgi)' NOR '(cli)'.
For more information, check

this is PHP on Gentoo, add 'fastcgi' to the USE flags.

Re[3]: Start up script for lighttpd?

I found out that somehow when run from /etc/init.d/lighttpd,
a wrong version of Python is invoked.

There seems to be an error in webapp.py, not much lighttpd can do about 
it. Maybe you're better off asking this on a python-* list.

[fastcgi] Using FastCGI with C/C++

Conditional Config Ordering

I don't understand some of the ordering dependencies in the  
conditional configuration stuff.  I'm using lighttpd 1.4.19.

For example, this first method doesn't work ("server.error- 
handler-404" is never set):

> $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/foobar/" {
>    $HTTP["useragent"] != "my-ua-str" {
>        server.error-handler-404 = "/foobar/req_error_handler.php"
>    }
> }

while merely swapping the order of the clauses makes it work  
correctly depending on the incoming request:

> $HTTP["useragent"] != "my-ua-str" {
>    $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/foobar/" {
>        server.error-handler-404 = "/foobar/req_error_handler.php"
>    }
> }

There are times when one order is much more convenient than another  
so it would be better if ordering wasn't such an issue (this is just  
one example, I've tripped over similar ordering issues several times).

Is there logic behind this that isn't obvious?
