Lighttpd With Pcre Support, Possible Bug Maybe
Jul 31, 2007
I just installed lighttpd from source and used the following options:
Code:
./configure --host=i686-redhat-linux-gnu
--build=i686-redhat-linux-gnu
--target=i386-redhat-linux
--program-prefix= --prefix=/usr
--exec-prefix=/usr
--bindir=/usr/bin
--sbindir=/usr/sbin
--sysconfdir=/etc
--datadir=/usr/share
--includedir=/usr/include
--libdir=/usr/lib
--libexecdir=/usr/libexec
--localstatedir=/var
--sharedstatedir=/usr/com
--mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info
--with-openssl
--with-pcre
--with-zlib
--with-bzip2
--disable-ipv6
--with-PACKAGE=mod_redirect
--with-rewrite
--with-redirect
--with-ssi
--with-linux-aio
--with-lua
Now the config i'm going to use is the one lxadmin (host-in-abox) generated for me. I'm basically just trying to install lighttpd with LUA support, but I couldn't figure out how to do that with YUM. Anyway, when i try to load lighty with the lxadmin config, it says i don't have PCRE support when clearly i have it installed.
Code:
/usr/sbin/lighttpd -V
Features:
- IPv6 support
- zlib support
- bzip2 support
+ crypt support
- SSL Support
+ PCRE support
- mySQL support
- LDAP support
- memcached support
- FAM support
+ LUA support
- xml support
- SQLite support
- GDBM support
[root@server lighttpd-1.4.16]# lighttpd start -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
can't handle '$HTTP[url] =~ ...' as you compiled without pcre support.
(perhaps just a missing pcre-devel package ?)
2007-07-31 18:46:09: (configfile.c.853) source: /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf line: 132 pos: 3 parser failed somehow near here: {
I also have the pcre-devel package installed. YUM says i do anyway.
pcre-devel.i386 6.6-1.1 installed
pcre.i386 6.6-1.1 installed
Code:
[root@server lighttpd-1.4.16]# rpm -qa pcre
pcre-6.6-1.1
Any idea what's going on? Alternatively, i would love a solution on how to install the RPM package with LUA support, as i think it's possible?
Code:
lighttpd.i386 1.4.15-1 installed

A fast webserver with minimal memory-footprint (lighttpd)
lighttpd is intented to be a frontend for ad-servers which have to deliver

Im considering alternatives to Apache web server for high traffic servers.
I already installed lighttpd + fastCGI (which is great!), integrated php5 and mysql5 without any problems.. After searching over the net i can see that there are lot of problems to have .htaccess files working in the same way as in Apache 1.3/2.x .
The solutions I've seen for this require almost a complere re-write of the .htaccess rules and even the app code in some cases, i mean, this is not good. Have anyone configured lighttpd to work with generic .htaccess files ? any guides please?
Also another important thing on a webservers is the security, apache is able to handle mod_security (a must in web server security I think), but i do not see any documentation on how to migrate mod_sec to lighttpd, any ideas about this?
Im testing this on Debian + PHP5 and MySQL 5 with latest lighttpd package.

I've been looking around for this for hours now and i can't seem to get my head around it. The situation is this:
I have been creating a PHP script for a while now, which extensively uses unicode characters and checking. Now during development, i only checked it on my localhost installation and a virtual linux machine. It all worked there.
Yesterday it was finished and i uploaded it to a beta site for testing, and i found that PHP doesn't recognise unicode regular expressions (perl compatible).
I think that my installed PCRE version is not compiled with UTF8 support. I could not find any updated RPM's for my Fedora installation, so i went ahead and downloaded the latest PCRE, compiled it with unicode support and installed it into the same path as the old one.
I thought that would fix it, but both linux and PHP still claim the old version is installed.
I'm completely lost now. I can't Remove the old version through Yum since that would remove over 450 packages from the system, making both the system and Plesk unusable.
Is there anyone here who knows how to handle this? I usually fix my own stuff, but somehow this is way beyond what i did before
System: Fedora Core 5
PCRE: 6.3

From the ModSecurity manual:
Quote:
By default ModSecurity relies on the regular expression library built into Apache for pattern matching.
This works well with Apache 2.x but not so much with Apache 1.x. The Apache 1.x regular expression
engine is several times slower. Since 1.9.2 it is possible to compile ModSecurity for Apache 1.x against
an external regular expression library (PCRE, [url] the same library used in Apache 2.x)
and achieve significant performance increase. This is achieved with the USE_PCRE compile-time flag.
If you have PCRE already installed on your system it may be sufficient to compile ModSecurity like this:
Code:
# <apache1-home>/bin/apxs -DUSE_PCRE -cia mod_security.c
Ok, so I tried and got this error:
Code:
[root@servidor1 customapache]# apxs -DUSE_PCRE -cia mod_security.c
gcc -DLINUX=22 -DHAVE_SET_DUMPABLE -I/usr/include/gdbm -DMOD_SSL=208128 -DUSE_HSREGEX -DEAPI -fpic -DSHARED_MODULE -I/usr/include/apache -DUS
E_PCRE -c mod_security.c
mod_security.c:37:18: pcre.h: No such file or directory
mod_security.c: In function `my_pregcomp':
mod_security.c:929: error: `PCRE_CASELESS' undeclared (first use in this function)
mod_security.c:929: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
mod_security.c:929: error: for each function it appears in.)
mod_security.c:929: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
mod_security.c: In function `my_regexec':
mod_security.c:940: error: `PCRE_ERROR_NOMATCH' undeclared (first use in this function)
apxs:Break: Command failed with rc=1
I double checked if I have PCRE installed:
Code:
[root@servidor1 customapache]# yum search pcre
pcre.i386 4.5-3.2.RHEL4 installed
Matched from:
pcre
Perl-compatible regular expression library.
PCRE has its own native API, but a set of "wrapper" functions that are based on
the POSIX API are also supplied in the library libpcreposix. Note that this
just provides a POSIX calling interface to PCRE: the regular expressions
themselves still follow Perl syntax and semantics. The header file
for the POSIX-style functions is called pcreposix.h.
[url]
And I even located the /lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1 and copied it to /usr/lib/apache/libpcre.so, with no sucess. Got the same error.
Has anyone sucessfully compiled mod_security with PCRE and can help me?

Has anybody heard of Flash Support and Real AudioVideo Support? MMHosting.com offers this kind of support and I wonder if it's effective?

I'm undecided between an upcoming dedicated hosting server and am moving between Softlayer and ThePlanet. My decision partly comes down to support.
I've read many reviews on WHT about both companies, but not necessarily comparing them from people who have experienced both.
So my questions (keep in mind this is my first dedicated. I have used VPS in the past with good support) Which offers MORE support (not better) - I'm curious which company might consider my support questions as "part of the default service package" or "need additional service plan for that" More detailed support - my usual experience with support is support staff assume you already know a high level so it may take going forward and back 5 times via email to get a full answer
Overall support satisfaction - any other comments

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.

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?

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

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?
