Package: lighttpd Version: 1.4.12~20060907-1 Severity: normal Hi!
I think I just found a weird bug with your package. I wanted to use lighttpd for a Debian-Mirror in my local network, and I wanted to use an alias for that. So I created a file /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/20-debian.conf and symlinked it in /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/. I tried the following: ===== alias.url = ( "/debian/" => "/srv/pub/debian/" ) ===== (I tried with "+=", too; makes no difference.) But when trying to acces the mirror via http://localhost/debian/ I just got a 404. Later I found out, that it did work, when I a) used a different host (not the same machine running lighttpd) or b) commented the /doc/ and /images/ aliase out in the main configuration file (workes via localhost, too) It seems to me, that beginning with the definition of the local aliase for /doc/ and /images/ lighttpd has two alias lists (which makes sense), and my later definition for a an alias wasn't added to the local list. I'm not sure, it's a bug or a feature I don't understand, but at least it's a behaviour I didn't expected (and I guess some others might be think the same), so I ask you to at least document it in (e.g. in a README.debian file). Using something like: ===== $HTTP["host"] == "localhost" { alias.url += ( "/debian" => "/srv/pub/debian" ) } alias.url = ( "/debian" => "/srv/pub/debian" ) ===== Works as expected.
