lighttpd server configs
Got tired of trying to manage Apache, tried a very broken Chreokee, then
nginx which was too hard to manage also. I now have lighttpd installed
which seems simple to manage but out of the box Debian install does not
work properly. I want to get it running with the web contents located
in /var/www/; Its a mediawiki site and should run as it is installed
directly into the main document directory. However, when I try to use
http://localhost. or http://127.0.0.1 or the actual IP address of the
computer on my network, it fails. This pops up in the url bar of the
browser:
http://www.physicswiki.net//index.php?title=Main_Page
It appears that the server is redirecting the request properly except
for the double forward slash marks & removing one of them does not fix
the issue; the lighttpd.conf file is below;
> server.modules = (
> "mod_access",
> "mod_alias",
> "mod_compress",
> "mod_redirect",
> "mod_rewrite",
> )
>
> server.document-root = "/var/www"
> server.upload-dirs = ( "/var/cache/lighttpd/uploads" )
> server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"
> server.pid-file = "/var/run/lighttpd.pid"
> server.username = "www-data"
> server.groupname = "www-data"
> server.port = 80

>
> compress.cache-dir = "/var/cache/lighttpd/compress/"
> compress.filetype = ( "application/javascript", "text/css", "text/html", "text/plain" )

> include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/use-ipv6.pl " + server.port
> include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/create-mime.assign.pl"
> include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/include-conf-enabled.pl"
Except for the $HTTP["host"] line all this was set up by the debian installer & I've added nothing.
Any tips or ideas are appreciated.
