Hi, I'm implementing ubr upload. It used Perl and PHP to upload files with a progress bar. I'm running a lighttpd development server and would like to test it fully. Currently it just transfer the files instantly since its really just moving files on my computer. Is there a way to make it seem like it actually transfers it slowly so I ca...
Hi All, I have this custom written CMS built on XAMPP. I'm trying to test the same on lighttpd to benchmark the so-called performance gains... but am stuck at the rewrite rules. I use the default rewrite rules of WordPress in my .htaccess which hands all url parsing over to my script as long as there aren't any files or directories sa...
I have enabled the lighttpd mod_webdav module and set up a webdav mount point of http://website.com/webdav using the following lighttpd.conf entry: $["remoteip"] == "www.website.com" { alias.url += ( "/webdav" => "/var/www/htdocs/webdav", ) $HTTP["url"] =~ "^webdav($|/)" { dir-listing.activate = "enable" ...
I was under the impression that FastCGI allowed you to kinda load in your web app once, and then you just "provide" FastCGI with some function, like myHandleHTTPRequest($url), that would then be called whenever a request came. This way you'd get much better performance as your app is ready in memory all the time, right? But I'm starting...
How do you build your own FastCGI interface in PHP? I'd like to do something similar to what they're doing in Perl, but in PHP. Is it even possible? Would it be faster? (That is, I'd like to be able to load a web app framework once into memory, and then just have FastCGI call a method I provide for every request. So not the more generi...
I understand that this is not the perfect environment for doing this but please stick with me and help if you can... The set up I want to achieve is to have my rails application running on a windows 2003 server, using a pack of mongrels with lighttpd acting as the load balancer and IIS in front of it all passing client requests to light...
I've got lighttp configured to start and serve django via fastcgi on ubuntu. When I have only a single site enabled (via ubuntu's apache-like conf-available, conf-enabled mechanism), everything runs beautifully. When I enable a second site, my url rewrites seem to stop working correctly, though the fcgi processes are started and serving ...
Hi all, I am trying to avoid repeated re-loading of images from my web app. I use lighttpd to serve the static content, and I have expired configured like so: expire.url = ( "/static/" => "access 1 years", "/static/images/" => "access 1 years") This seems to be working for js and css, who live in /static. But this does not really wo...

I am in the process of migrating from a Django FastCgi setup in Apache to one in lighttpd. On Apache, I was using the fcgi config described in the Django docs. The core part being rewriting all my non-static URLs to be /mysite.fcgi/$1: RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /mysite.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L] and then forwarding all requests for /mysite.fcgi for F...
I am using lighttpd as a front-end proxy to my custom HTTP based application server. I need to configure lighttpd for a large number (let's say around 5000) simultaneous http connections which have a large timeout and KeepAlive setting. Each connection will sit around mostly idle. Imagine an HTTP based chat server. My HTTP server is usi...
