Dear experts,
I have rail site that is running lighttpd and fcgi. I want the default
domain to serve the rails application, and I also want to have a
virtualhost (bugs.mysite) to resolve to a bugzilla instance.
Bugzilla is basically Perl application called through CGI.
I tried to find pointers on how to set fcgi to run both rails dispatcher
and other cgi scripts in a different virtualhost, and I didn''t find
anything. Would anyone be so kind to show me where to go, or tell me how
to configure fcgi?
Thanks a lot.
Ezra
Here is my current config file:
server.document-root = "/opt/webspace/mysite/public"
server.port = 80
server.username = "apache"
server.groupname = "apache"
server.modules =
("mod_rewrite","mod_redirect","mod_fastcgi",
"mod_cgi")
fastcgi.server = (".fcgi" =>
( "railsapp" =>
( "min-procs" => 1,
"max-procs" => 5,
"socket" => "/tmp/ruby-railsapp.fastcgi",
"bin-path" =>
"/opt/webspace/mysite/public/dispatch.fcgi"
)
)
)
server.indexfiles = ( "index.html", "index.cgi" )
server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"
mimetype.assign = (
".html" => "text/html",
".txt" => "text/plain",
".jpg" => "image/jpeg",
".png" => "image/png"
)
index-file.names = ( "index.html", "index.cgi" )
$HTTP["host"] == "bugs.mysite" {
server.document-root = "/opt/webspace/bugzilla-2.20/"
accesslog.filename = "/Users/USER/Sites/rails/log/access.log"
}

I don''t think it will work the way you are doing things. I have left out the mime-types, just add those in at the bottom. Here are the options for the mod_cgi module: file-extensions that are handled by a CGI program e.g.: cgi.assign = ( ".pl" => "/usr/bin/perl", ".cgi" => "/usr/bin/perl" ) Examples To setup a executable which doesn''t need the help of a external program you just don''t specify a handler for the extension. cgi.assign = ( ".sh" => "" ) If the file has no extension keep in mind that lighttpd matches not the extension itself but the right part of the URL: cgi.assign = ( "/testfile" => "" ) #########begin lighttpd.conf############### server.modules = ( "mod_rewrite", "mod_redirect", "mod_access", "mod_fastcgi", "mod_cgi" "mod_compress", "mod_accesslog" ) server.document-root = "/var/www" server.bind = "0.0.0.0" server.port = 80 server.pid-file = "/tmp/main_lighttpd.pid" server.tag = "lighttpd" accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd.access.log" server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd.error.log" server.indexfiles = ( "index.html", "index.htm", "default.htm" ) url.access-deny = ( "~", ".inc" ) $HTTP["host"] =~ "(^|www\.)example\.com" { server.document-root = "/home/ezra/railsapp/public/" server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi" server.indexfiles = ( "dispatch.fcgi") server.errorlog = "/home/ezra/railsapp/log/error.typo1.log" fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" => ( "localhost" => ( "socket" => "/tmp/railsapp.socket", "min-procs" => 2, "max-procs" => 2, "bin-path" => "/home/ezra/railsapp/public/dispatch.fcgi", "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" => "production" ) ))) } $HTTP["host"] =~ "bugs\.example\.com" { server.document-root = "/opt/webspace/bugzilla-2.20/" accesslog.filename = "/Users/USER/Sites/rails/log/access.log" cgi.assign = ( ".pl" => "/usr/bin/perl", ".cgi" => "/usr/bin/perl" ) } # add mime-type assigns here Cheers- -Ezra Zygmuntowicz Yakima Herald-Republic WebMaster http://yakimaherald.com 509-577-7732 ezra@yakima-herald.com
Oh, one more thing. The mod_cgi module is broken in a few recent releases of lighttpd. It might only affect 1.4.9 but maybe 1.4.8 too, im not sure. I do know that it is fixed in the svn repo in 1.4.10.

Ezra, Thanks for your quick response. This is probably the culprit! I saw that document about mod_cgi too, and I couldn''t make it work. That''s why I thought of using mod_fcgi instead. Hmm... I wonder what my options are.... Is there some other bug tracking package that is friendly with lighttpd and fcgi? Do you know about Tract? It uses Python, so I don''t know if it will complicate the site requirement even further... Thanks, Ezra On Mon, 2006-02-06 at 14:59 -0800, Ezra Zygmuntowicz wrote:> Oh, one more thing.

1.4.8 works fine. 1.4.9 is broken as Ezra mentions.
