Fabien Benetou's PIM | Tools / Lighttpd

From personal usage

using webroot with certbot for https
- requires to let /.webroot/ be acccessible and merging cat privkey.pem cert.pem > lighttpd.pem

allow CORS

setenv.add-response-header = (
        "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" => "*",
        "Access-Control-Allow-Headers" => "Content-Type, Origin, Accept, Range, Cache-Control"
)

via mod_setenv
headers specific response important for reverse proxying and pre-fetch

only *.conf files get parsed in conf-enabled/
use mimetype.assign instead of the too generalist system-wide /etc/mime.types
one can't do a rewrite in a url conditional
- $HTTP["url"] =~ "/this/" { url.rewrite = ( "/this/" => "/that/" )} will have no effect (and produce no error either)
debug.log-request-handling in DebugVariables
ModDirlisting
- e.g. http://cloud.benetou.fr for MyCloudTransition
ModAuth
- e.g. http://cloud.benetou.fr for MyCloudTransition
ModRedirect with url.redirect-code
mod_proxy
- failed to properly limit it to one directory and probably problem with url.rewrite
mod_cgi
- do not use ".cgi" => "/bin/sh" if you use Fossil with #!/usr/bin/fossil
lighttpd -t -f lighttpd.conf : test the syntax of the configuration file
lighttpd force-reload : reload lighttpd with the modified configuration file
mimefile type updated to use .log as plain text files
- modify /etc/mime.types (loaded from the configuration file) to add log, pjs, ... to "text/plain" the restart httpd
vhost simple configuration based host=path
- $HTTP["host"] == "www.benetou.fr" { server.document-root = "/home/utopiah/web/benetou.fr/www/" }
vhost with urlrewritting :

$HTTP["host"] == "blog.seedea.org" {
  index-file.names = ("pmwiki.php")
    url.rewrite-once = (
        "^/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z=?0-9.&:\-_%]+)$" => "/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=$1.$2",
        "^/([a-zA-Z0-9/]+)$" => "/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=CoEvolutionBlog.$1",
        "^/$" => "/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=CoEvolutionBlog"
      )
    }
