I have lighttpd as web server and on it I have installed IP-based SSL certificates. I want to have a way to have multiple SSL certificates on each new IP that the server may get. For example, at the moment I have https://127.0.0.1 and it works, but it certificate on which the CN = 127.0.0.1, so if the webserver gets a new IP from the DHCP server, say 192.168.1.x, the server will cause SSL mismatches.

So I have lighttpd installed and the site it runs only needs to respond to GET requests. I was wondering how I can return 405 responses with Allow: GET headers to anything but GET requests using lighttpd? I’ve had a quick google but even the lighttpd doesn’t turn up anything solid. Asked by Sam Since version 1.4.19, you can filter on request-method: $HTTP["request-method"] =~ “^(PUT|POST|HEAD|PATCH|DELETE)$” { url.access-deny = (“”) } Answered by j0k Check more [...]

So lately I heard about people running apache&nginx together, nginx for static content and apache for dynamic, so basically my question is, can the same be dome with lighttpd&apache? Are there any guides out there for this? Asked by teeiger Absolutely. lighttpd can act as a proxy to a different web server for content that it doesn’t handle locally. A simple configuration would look like this – say you want lighttpd to send every request [...]

What is the best configuration for a load balanced server farm for a high demand download web page that uses php and mysql. I have servers that currently use centos with lightppd.

I have Samba running on a plug computer running Debian Squeeze which I’m trying to configure to act as a web-based file server. The machine runs Lighttpd for the web server, and Samba for the file sharing. The user is able to use Samba to copy files from their local machine onto the plug computer using Samba, and then view them through the web browser (script I wrote). Lighttpd runs as www-data, Samba runs as [...]

Here is my server modules list (modules.conf), its working without any problems, and lighttpd is running correctly while using this list: server.modules = ( “mod_access”, # “mod_alias”, # “mod_auth”, # “mod_evasive”, # “mod_redirect”, # “mod_rewrite”, # “mod_setenv”, # “mod_usertrack”, ) The problem appears, when I want to uncomment the mod_rewrite module: server.modules = ( “mod_access”, # “mod_alias”, # “mod_auth”, # “mod_evasive”, # “mod_redirect”, “mod_rewrite”, # “mod_setenv”, # “mod_usertrack”, ) Then I’m getting the following message, [...]

I’ve set up my config like this: $HTTP["host"] =~ “(^|\.)domain1\.com$” { fastcgi.server = ( “/domain1.py” => (( “socket” => “/tmp/fastcgi.socket”, “bin-path” => “/home/domain1/serveV03.py”, “max-procs” => 1, “bin-environment” => ( “REAL_SCRIPT_NAME” => “” ), “check-local” => “disable” )) ) server.document-root = “/home/domain1″ url.rewrite-once = ( “^/favicon.ico$” => “/static/favicon.ico”, “^/static/(.*)$” => “/static/$1″, “^/(.*)$” => “/domain1.py/$1″ ) }$HTTP["host"] =~ “(^|\.)domain2\.com$” { fastcgi.server = ( “/domain2.py” => (( “socket” => “/tmp/fastcgi.socket”, “bin-path” => “/home/domain2/serveV01.py”, “max-procs” => 1, “bin-environment” => [...]

I am using Webmin for my home server administration. Instead of running it on the default port (https://myhost:10000), I wanted to host it inside a sub-folder (https://myhost/webmin/). This is running perfectly fine when using Apache (Apache configuration files are attached below). However, I am normally using lighttpd, and I wanted to do the same thing (running Webmin in a sub-folder) with lighttpd. However, it is not working properly. Whenever I go to https://myhost/webmin/, I get [...]

I am using Lighttpd with a snipped i’ve found on the net. How to redirect all subdomains of a given domain to https without touching other domains or subdomains of domains? Currently i am doing this on the needed subdomains: $SERVER["socket"] == “:80″ { $HTTP["host"] =~ “^sub\.(.*)” { url.redirect = ( “^/(.*)” => “https://sub.%1/$1″ ) } } I would love to have it the over way around. Is it possible? Can anyone tell me how? [...]
