Lighttpd config for multisite Drupal

Submitted by macinr on Mon, 2012-01-30 23:37

Here is my lighttpd config. It supports shortened URLs for the /files & /themes.


$SERVER["socket"] == ":80" {

###
# drupal specific stuff
###

# Deny access to backup_migrate module dumps
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^(/sites/(.*)/files/backup_migrate/)" {
    url.access-deny = ("")
}
$HTTP["url"] =~ "/files/backup_migrate/" {
    url.access-deny = ( "" )
}

###
# drupal vhosting
###

$HTTP["host"] =~ "(.*).example.com$" {

    ### default to drupal 7
    server.document-root = "/local/www/drupal-7/"

Multisite on Drupal 7

Submitted by geekgirlweb on Wed, 2011-07-13 00:31

Hi,

I was wondering if any one could share how they've gotten D7 with clean urls and mutisite working in Lighttpd? Any success with out LUA? The most relevant documentation that I can find is here:
http://benclark.com/archive/201006/how-to-run-multisite-drupal-on-lighttpd

However it's still not working for me, I have custom .conf files for each domain, so I'm not sure if I should just edit the main domain .conf, or create separate .conf's for each multisite?

Thanks!

D7 Update

Submitted by panhead490 on Mon, 2011-03-21 05:25

Looking at lighty for the first time but wanted to know if/how people are using it with D7. I have a few sites running D6 I'm not concerned about based on everything I've read -- but knowing I can use it for future sites on D7 is quite important ;)

Can anyone weigh in on this?

Need lightttpd clean urls

Submitted by karthick62 on Tue, 2010-12-21 05:36

Hi,

I have started using drupal on lighttpd for the few days.. My directory set up goes like this .

1./document-root/site
2./document-root/site/subsite1
3./document-root/site/subsite2
I am able to get the clean urls for the above sites using lua scripts. I have no problem on accessing the pages using both apache and lighttpd

But I got another site,like

4./document-root/site/subsite3/subsite3.1

When I click the pages on the subsite3 and subsite3.1 I am getting page not found errors when I use lighttpd. but it works fine with apache2. I need help on this.

Clean URLs On The Same LIGHTTP Server That Also Serves Static Sites

Submitted by spflanze on Fri, 2010-12-10 16:34
· ·

My lighttpd server is serving both a Drupal based dynamic content website and a static content website. On the dynamic website Garret Albright's LUA script at: http://groups.drupal.org/node/22787 works like a charm.

But on the static website it seems to cause Lighttpd to ignore the configuration file directive:

server.indexfiles = ("index.php", "index.html",  "index.htm", "default.htm")

Also tried:
index-file.names = ("/index.php", "/index.html", "/index.htm", "/default.htm")

Issue with multi-site & macports on Snow Leopard

Submitted by solide-echt on Fri, 2010-09-17 15:06

Hi,

I'm having an issue that's really driving me nuts:

I'm on a Mac and moved from Leopard to Snow Leopard. I did a clean install of xcode and macports and installed all necessary ports. After some fiddling mysql (5.1.50), php (5.3.3) and lighttpd (1.4.26) are running fine. Drupal (6.17) runs fine also but I cannot get the multi-site feature to work again (it worked on Leopard). The relevant part (probably...) of the lighttpd.conf is:

Name all drupal hosts such that they have a '.dev' toplevel domain

$HTTP["host"] =~ ".dev" {
url.rewrite-final = (
# imagecache

Heads up with Drupal 7 tests

Submitted by Garrett Albright on Wed, 2010-03-31 05:09

A heads-up to my fellow developers. I ran into this problem on Lighty, but it probably is going to occur on all non-Apache server daemons, so I'm cross-posting this to the Nginx and IIS groups too.

multi site with lighttpd

Submitted by funkyhat on Thu, 2010-02-18 02:03

I wasn't happy with the vhost modules in lighttpd, I host a few drupal sites on a multisite setup, as well as a few non-drupal sites, so a single way of defining vhosts was a bit too restrictive. I came up with a script which is loaded by include_script, based on this howto. I'm using the mod_magnet script from here.

Submitted by mikeytown2 on Sat, 2009-11-28 06:30

Support for html, xml, json, js, css; no gzip ATM.

Testing would be appreciated

Tips/code on how to add in support for .gz files would be very helpful!

Excluding static directories in Drupal's root

Submitted by asb on Thu, 2009-10-29 01:53

Hi,

I'm trying to exclude a static directory in Drupal's root (called /docs) from being caught by Drupal. Currently I'm just getting a "page not found" error since there's no "/docs" page (error page).

Drupal is embedded into Lighty through "mod magnet" (magnet.attract-physical-path-to = ( "/etc/lighttpd/drupal.lua" ). Where is this to be configured, if it is possible at all with Drupal running on Lighttpd (Solution for Apache/mod_rewrite)?
