Rails - Jul 2006 - Capistrano - disable_web and enable_web with lighty?

I was using lighty+fastcgi before, and it was working pretty well, but
I decided to move to Apache+mongrel because I really really like
Mongrel.  Well now I found out about lighty+pound+mongrel [1] and I
think I''m going to give that a shot.  I definitely prefer lighty to
Apache - it''s pretty ridiculous how much fewer resources it uses.
Anyway the only thing I''m going to miss about Apache is a real
mod_rewrite...and capistrano''s enable/disable_web tasks.  Does anyone
know how I can make those work on lighty?  I really want them.

Hi Pat:

You have a couple of options for supporting disable/enable web.

1.  Have two different lighty configurations and use symlink to the  
appropriate one in disable_web/enable_web. You must reload lighty''s  
configuration after doing so. In your disabled conf, you need  
something like this:

url.rewrite = ( "^/.*" => "/system/maintenance.html" )

2. Use a CML power magnet (requires mod_cml). And the following to  
your lighty conf:

cml.power-magnet  = "/my/path/to/app/config/power-magnet.cml"

Create power-magnet.cml:

dr = request["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]

if file_isreg(dr .. "maintainance.html") then
   output_include = { dr .. "maintainance.html" }
   return CACHE_HIT
end
