Lighttpd

Welcome

Are you a Lighty fan in an Apache world? It turns out the Lighttpd web server is a great platform for running Drupal too. This group is for discussion of using Drupal in conjunction with Lighty and vice versa.

I need clean urls in D7 with lighttpd 1.4

Posted by chaskype on October 30, 2014 at 2:11pm

Hello,

I have a server Debian 6, PHP 5.4 and need deploy Drupal 7 but I can not set clean urls, the documentation I found on the internet is very old. and my question is if any of you have an example or documentation on what I need.

Thank you very much, sorry for my English is not good.

Basic rewrite issues - lighty newbie!

Posted by AstroDaz on January 21, 2013 at 10:35pm

Hi all

I have an ASUS Transformer T700 running Android 4. I have installed an app called KSWEB which has MySql, php5 and lighttp.

I have downloaded d7 and it installs fine, and i have exported my site database from my laptop and imported to the 'droid ok.

When i go to the localhost via the pad browser, the home page is served but anything else fails with a 404 error. If i use the '?q=' in the url, then the sub page loads. I cannot get it to work with clean urls.

There is only 1 site, no virtual hosts or anything like that.

Any help in working out a rule would be great!

I gave up on Lighty.

Well, after years of waiting for version 1.5 to come out, I finally decided to give up recently when upgrading between sub-point-releases of 1.4 on my VPS caused my site to go down (again) and I couldn't quickly figure out why. Yep, even though I founded the Lighty GDO group, I'm running nothing but Nginx now, both on my VPS and locally. Here's a few quick thoughts on the switching experience.

Lighttpd config for multisite Drupal

Posted by Anonymous on January 30, 2012 at 11:37pm

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

Posted by geekgirlweb on July 13, 2011 at 12:31am

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

Posted by panhead490 on March 21, 2011 at 5:25am

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

Posted by karthick62 on December 21, 2010 at 5:36am

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

Posted by spflanze on December 10, 2010 at 4:34pm

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

Posted by solide-echt on September 17, 2010 at 3:06pm

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
