Lighttpd Expires Configuration
Nov 2, 2007
For those of you who have installed and are using Lighttpd, I have a question about if my content is being properly cached.
I am completely new to Lightthpd. I setup my server to have all the
static content (CSS, images, JS and HTML) to be apart of a static-only
subdomain and I have noticed that ALL of my static content gets
downloaded each time. My Lighttpd build does have the mod_expires
module.
Therefore, there is no "browser cache" going on with the static content.
Before, when I was using apache for everything, all of my content (html,
css, etc...) was given an expires header and, therefore, the enduser's
browser cached them.
What do I need to do to make the content cached?

I was recently inroduced to lighttpd being able to run on apache with a different port. So I setup my lighttpd that way.
lighttpd.conf
Code:
server.modules = (
"mod_access",
"mod_fastcgi",
"mod_cgi",
"mod_accesslog" )
server.document-root = "/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/lighttpd/"
server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"
index-file.names = ( "index.php", "index.html",
"index.htm", "default.htm" )
and my httpd.conf
Code:
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /lighttpd http://0.0.0.0:81/
ProxyPassReverse / http://0.0.0.0:81/
Now when I created a folder on my server's httpdocs /lighttpd/
everything runs smooth so I got the lighty to work for me.
Okay now that i figure it works I wanted to run one of my subdomain on lighty so that I can reduce the load on the server. Does anyone know how I can setup one of my subdomain to open with lighttpd and keep everything else on apache?

I am setting up Expires headers for my site. The site allows users to upload photos of themselves. The photos are stored as <user id number>.jpeg. I want these to be cached, but updated when the user uploads a new photo. From what I understand, new browsers use ETags to make sure this happens (since if they upload a new file, the inode and/or mtime will change). However for older browsers, I plan to add ?file-mtime to the end of the file name. This should allow caching but it will change when the user uploads a new image. Will the cause any technical problems with caches that would not be a problem if I changed the filename to be user_id.mtime.jpeg when the user uploads the file? The trade-off is that if I just append ?file-mtime to the end of the filename, I don't have to track these images in a database or use file globs (cpu-expensive for large directories) to find the filename to output.

I'm using Parallels Plesk 12.0 and a mysql-Server.
I'm logged in with a customer's account into his phpmyadmin. Whenever a client connects to his website (which uses the database of his account) I get logged out and receive a "session expired" error. When I log in again I get "there's already a user with your username logged in".

I am struggling to get this .htaccess file to work with lighttpd, i am not a coder so its very hard for me to fix it, hopefully if someone knows how can tell me how to write rewrite code that will get it working.
{quote}
1. Comment the 2 lines below if the server returns 500 errors!
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
#Uncomment following lines if you want to use image caching!
#<IfModule mod_expires.c>
1. ExpiresActive On
2. ExpiresDefault A1209600
3. ExpiresByType text/html A1
#</IfModule>
1. Uncomment following lines if Apache doesnt support MultiViews!
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
1. Uncomment the 2 lines below if you are using www.domain.com # as the baseurl for the site and users access your site # via domain.com (THIS IS REQUIRED FOR JQUERY TO WORK)
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* loader.php [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
1. Edit below lines and set to
2. ErrorDocument CODE /RELATIVE/error.php
3. If the script is installed in the default document
4. root then relative is null.
#ErrorDocument 401 /error.php
#ErrorDocument 403 /error.php
#ErrorDocument 404 /error.php {/quote}
looks like its calling the rule from loader.php file, now how can i convert this to lighttpd language,

Until recently, it seemed like everything I read about a server indicated that Apache was king. I have never read anything that has given me any reason not to use Apache.
However, about a year ago when I discovered Django, I discovered Lighttpd. From everything I've been able to read, Lighttpd seems to be a better web server, but still don't know very much at all about Lighttpd.
I'm fairly comfortable with Apache, although I've never cared much for it. I have a feeling that I'll like Lighttpd quite a bit more from the very little that I do know about it. I'm wondering if I should even consider switching.
For one, it seems that everyone knows how to work with Apache and Lighttpd seems to be far less common. Apache also seems to be much more established which leads me to believe that it's a safer choice. Nonetheless, I still really want to give Lighttpd a shot. And, judging from what I've seen about Django and Lighttpd, Lighttpd seems to be a better choice when working with Django.
What do you think? Should I stick with Apache since I already know how to use it? Is Lighttpd worth the time to learn or is Apache just too good?

I wanted to know what do you prefer as server apache or lighttpd , though I am running lighttpd and have no issue except that there is too much work for mod rewrite and it effects search engine, so I was thinking to use apache instaed of it will it be possible to install apache over lighttpd or will I have to go for fresh install.

I'm about to set my own permalink rules in Wordpress.
My VPS is running LxAdmin on CentOS and I have lighttpd installed. I've read I need to edit lighttpd.conf but I don't know which application I should use. The file is located in /etc/lighttpd/ but have no idea how to gain access.

I keep getting a segmentation fault after a few hours when I leave lighttpd on. It doesn't seem like much resources are being used and its serving about 60mbit/s. There's nothing in the error or log file.
I'm using CentOS 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5
and
lighttpd-1.5.0-r1992
Here's the config:
server.modules = (
"mod_access",
"mod_trigger_b4_dl",
"mod_status",
"mod_proxy_core",
"mod_proxy_backend_fastcgi",
"mod_uploadprogress"
)
upload-progress.progress-url = "/progress"
server.network-backend = "gthread-aio"
server.max-fds = 15000
server.max-connections = 10000
server.event-handler = "linux-sysepoll"
I've actually been having this issue since I've moved to lighttpd 1.5, 1.4 was working fine but I need the features in 1.5. I've tried changing the event handler and network backend to no avail.
How can I at least find out what's causing the error?

I just recompiled PHP 5 with MySqli in cPanel and Mysqli is working fine under Apache, but it doesn't work under lighttpd. I can see the MySqli module in phpinfo when I run it under Apache, but there's no MySqli module when I run it under lighttpd. So how can I fix it to use MySqli with lighttpd?

I'm going to see what Lighttpd on cPanel does today. I've asked my VPS provider (Zone.net) to perform this and provided them several links too. Their manager said they should be able to and so I submitted a ticket .

1) 25k members with 100 - 125 members / guest being online at all times. about 400,000 page views per month
2) software pages static html about 200,000 page views per month.
3) a script library which get about 200,000 page views per month
4) i get about 2000 - 2500 software downloads per day. each download between 1mb to 3 mb give or take
i would estimate a total of 1 million page views per month...
a) i am using Apache right now would lighttpd help?
b) if yes, how does one go about switching from Apache to Lighthtpd
c) is it easy to manage and optimize lighttpd?
d) can i just ask for lighttpd to be installed as default by any hosting company out there?
e) does lighttpd support cPanel?
currently i am on a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+(2 Ghz) with 2 GB RAM.
my server loads are sky high - anywhere between 10, 15 and 20.

Lighttpd works well with static file.
But for php, it's totally not good for me
I just install lighttpd and php.
By [url]
Now It takes about 10 seconds for the
server to response.
Here is a part of config file
############ Options you really have to take care of
####################
server.max-keep-alive-requests = 4
server.max-keep-alive-idle = 4
server.max-read-idle = 60
server.max-write-idle = 1024
server.max-fds = 8192
php.ini using the default one
Here is the link to it
[url]
And only about 200 connections. the load average is only 0.02.
When I check the error log
2007-11-08 12:38:46: (server.c.1253) NOTE: a request for
/view_video.php?viewkey=f8e13f14b405e038deb6&page=&viewtype=&category=

problem increase server.max-write-idle

Would it be possible to have this kind of setup?
Lighttpd running on port 80 to serve only static content, and if it receives php requests, to forward the request to Apache running on another port. Not sure if this is useful [url]
If it is possible, is there any example of lighttpd conf where this can be done?

to accomplish:
[url] ==> [url] however it should be proxied so that the user never sees [url]
This is because the sub domain is using apache while www is using lighttpd and I want to keep the entire site with www to the user.

Can Lighttpd be installed with DirectAdmin in this fashion:
Lighttpd - port 80
DirectAdmin on Apache - port 999
OR
Is there any performance decrease in
Apache - Port 80
Lighhttpd - port 81 (proxy between Apache)
DirectAdmin on Apache - port 999

I would like to use Lighttpd to rewrite and proxy as in this example:
1) There is no [url]download on server.
2) [url] => proxy => Apache 2.2 on same server to [url]
3) *.php should be handled by Lighttpd, however, the reason I want *.php5 to be done by Apache is due to compatibility issues.
proxy.server = ( ".php5" =>
( "localhost" =>
(
"host" => "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX",
"port" => 81
)
)
)
The reason is because I don't want people to see .php5 file
Does this work using url.rewrite? If so how to do it?
I already have the following in lighttpd.conf, should the url.rewrite be placed in side of this?
$HTTP["host"] =~ "^domain.com$" {
url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => [url])
}

For a year now I've been running my server with Lighttpd. It's worked out well so far, but now that I have a new box I'm reconsidering.
Lighttpd does not support .htaccess files which is a bit of a pain, and doesn't have the same support by apps like Apache does. Given that I get very little traffic to my box (it sits idle most of the time) I am considering Apache.
How is security between Apache and Lighttpd? I know Apache has things like mod_security and mod_evasive, but I've never really checked how Lighttpd compared.

Is it possible to do this scenario:

So basically anything that comes out of "upload" directory will be served by apache and both on port 80 from the end-users point of view.
