I am wanting to one run instance of lighttpd, many many instances of mongrel. I also need ssl but only for one of my sites. I understand that Mongrel does not play with SSL so I am forced to use Lighttpd. I think that lighttpd only handles ssl or non-ssl on any given instance.

I had problems compiling from svn as well.

I''m not sure where you got the impression that you can only do ssl or non-ssl. Just add an ssl section to lightty''s conf for ssl. The SSL documentation at http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/Docs%3ASSL only says that you have to use IP-based virtual hosting if you want to use one instance of lightty. With no mention of mongrel in this post, I feel bad even posting a response here. It''s probably much more of a lightty question than a mongrel one. I hope my answers help in some way.. BTW, my configuration looks very similar to what is posted on the lightty ssl documentation I referenced above. I have my other hosts in the same file for standard port 80 traffic.

Here is an example of doing ssl and non ssl in the same instance.
Note the use of $SERVER["socket"] and HTTP["host"]. You can
use both
of those for one virtual host like I did below. The host setting sets
the options that are common to both ssl and non ssl, and the socket
settings are port specific. Lots of different combinations are
possible.
var.base = "/tmp/"
server.document-root = var.base
server.modules = ( "mod_rewrite", "mod_accesslog",
"mod_fastcgi", "mod_compress", "mod_expire" )
compress.filetype = ( "text/plain", "text/html",
"text/css",
"text/javascript" )
expire.url = ( "/favicon.ico" => "access 3
days",
"/javascripts/" => "access 3
days" )
var.app1 = "/usr/local/www/seca/web/"
$HTTP["host"] == "test.domain.com" {
fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" => ( "localhost" => (
"min-procs" => 1,
"max-procs" => 1,
"socket" => var.app1 +
"tmp/sockets/fcgi.socket",
"bin-path" => var.app1 +
"public/dispatch.fcgi",
"bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"development" )
) ) )
}
$SERVER["socket"] == "72.25.136.58:80" {
server.name = "test.domain.com"
server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"
accesslog.filename = var.app1 + "log/lighttpd.access.log"
compress.cache-dir = var.app1 + "tmp/cache"
}
$SERVER["socket"] == "72.25.136.58:443" {
ssl.ca-file = var.app1 + "ssl/ca.pem"
server.name = "test.domain.com"
server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"
server.document-root = var.app1 + "public/"
server.errorlog = var.app1 + "log/lighttpd.error.log"
accesslog.filename = var.app1 + "log/lighttpd.access.log"
compress.cache-dir = var.app1 + "tmp/cache"
}
var.app2 = "/usr/local/cart/jdonline/web/"
$SERVER["socket"] == "72.25.136.54:80" {
server.name = "domain2.com"
server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"
server.document-root = var.app2 + "public/"
server.errorlog = var.app2 + "log/lighttpd.error.log"
accesslog.filename = var.app2 + "log/lighttpd.access.log"
compress.cache-dir = var.app2 + "tmp/cache"
fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" => ( "localhost"
=> (
"min-procs" => 1,
"max-procs" => 1,
"socket" => var.app2 +
"tmp/sockets/fcgi.socket",
"bin-path" => var.app2 +
"public/dispatch.fcgi",
"bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"development" )
) ) )
}
Not sure why they didn''t paste correctly, but the following two lines were supposed to be in the section for port 443. ssl.engine = "enable" ssl.pemfile = var.app1 + "ssl/ra.pem"

Sorry for the lack of understanding > on my part.The Var.app is just a variable to store base paths in, etc.. $HTTP["host"] matches hostnames. $SERVER["socket"] matches an ip address/port combination. I set things that are common to the whole hostname using the host, and use the socket to set the per port configs. One thing that might have thrown you is that for the host config I used the hostname, while the socket sections used the ip address. The config I posted is complete, there are no includes. Chris
