Thanks Jon.
I have not used this in long time (4 years?) and there has not been much
talk about lighttpd since nginx. Anyway I think you do this:
1) copy web2py/handlers/
fcgihandler.py to web2py/fcgihandler.py but you should not rename it.
2) you start it with sudo -u www-data python fcgihandler.py and it will
open and listen from the /tmp/fcgi.sock socket.
3) The lighttpd should be something like:
server.port = 8000
server.bind = '127.0.0.1'
server.event-handler = 'freebsd-kqueue'
server.modules = ('mod_rewrite', 'mod_fastcgi')
server.error-handler-404 = '/test.fcgi'
server.document-root = '/somewhere/web2py'
server.errorlog = '/tmp/error.log'
fastcgi.server = ('.fcgi' =>
('localhost' =>
('min-procs' => 1,
'socket' => '/tmp/fcgi.sock'
)
)
)
Lines like this:
"(^|/.*)$" => "/fcgihandler.fcgi/app/default/$1",
should not be in the lighttpd.conf
