Hi folks! I have a website which is in development with pier. As it is in development there was no lighttpd or apache and I wanted them to wait :) But...In another thread of this mail, thanks John, I just realised that I want to configure my lighttpd with Pier now. The problem is that I know very little about lighttpd neither apache. I want to use lighttpd. But I don't know how to configure. I saw Miguel (Miguel pensé mandarte un mail privado pero aprovecho que tal vez le sirve a otro) post here: http://miguel.leugim.com.mx/index.php/2008/09/27/gemstones-and-fastcgi-with… and I wonder which is the difference between what configuration and the one I need for my pier site. I remove Gemstone and FastCGI from that post but I add Pier hahah. I also saw http://www.piercms.com/doc/deploy but I am using lighttpd :( I have lighttpd installed and listening. I am under Ubuntu 8.10. I want to statically serve: - My pictures -> I use the gallery plugins. I have those photos in /var/www/pictures - All css files. I have my own library for my website which has a stylesheet. But, what about the others css? should I serve ALL of them ? Would love to have them in /var/www/styles/ - All javascript files. The same as above. All js of all libraries ? Would love to have them in /var/www/javascripts/ - What about the files I upload in Pier and are stored in ~/files Would love to have them in /var/www/pierFiles Thanks a lot for the help!

I will start playing a bit with this and see what happens. Of course if you send me the example would be a dream, but I cannot give you a couple of hours but a couple of days even weeks if you want!!! Thanks a lot man. Mariano

I aprovecho que http://miguel.leugim.com.mx/index.php/2008/09/27/gemstones-and-fastcgi-with… configuration and FastCGI from 8.10. photos has a ALL of libraries ? ~/files Hola Mariano, this is what I have in a site in production right now (it is not complete): $HTTP["host"] == "mysite.com" { $HTTP["scheme"] == "http" { url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "https://mysite.com/$1" ) } } $SERVER["socket"] == "123.123.123.123:443" { ssl.engine = "enable" ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/ssl/mysite.com/mysite.com.pem" ssl.ca-file = "/etc/lighttpd/ssl/mysite.com/gd_bundle.crt" server.name = "mysite.com" server.document-root = "/srv/www/mysite.com/" # We'll use the resources directory to host static files: images, styles, etc # Rewrite the URL url.rewrite-once = ( "^/resources/(.*)" => "$0", # Unaltered "^/about/(.*)" => "$0", # Unaltered "^/(.*)" => "/seaside/myApp$1" # Rewritten ) # Anything with seaside/myApp pass to Seaside on port 8080 proxy.balance = "hash" proxy.server = ( "/seaside/myApp" => ( ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 8080) ) ) } $HTTP["host"] == "blog.mysite.com" { server.document-root = "/srv/www/blog.mysite.com/" alias.url = ( "/wp-uploads/" => "/srv/www/wp-uploads/blog.mysite.com/" ) } For this I have everything on https and several folders are served direct from disk on the document root from the lighttpd. Also, you can have a lot more sites in the same server without problem, just like the wordpress blog section. For your case you need something like: server.document-root = “/var/www/” $HTTP["host"] == "yoursite.com" { # We'll use the resources directory to host static files: images, styles, etc # Rewrite the URL url.rewrite-once = ( "^/pictures/(.*)" => "$0", # Unaltered "^/styles/(.*)" => "$0", # Unaltered "^/javascripts/(.*)" => "$0", # Unaltered "^/styles/(.*)" => "$0", # Unaltered "^/files/(.*)" => "$0", # Unaltered "^/(.*)" => "/seaside/myApp$1" # Rewritten ) Miguel: I am trying to see how to make it work but then I read in the documentation of mod_rewrite this: "NOTE: url rewriting does not work within a $HTTP["url"] conditional. "

In this case, the rewrite is within that conditional. I am right? thanks! Mariano # Anything with seaside/mySite pass to Seaside on port 8080 proxy.balance = "hash" proxy.server = ( "/seaside/myApp" => ( ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 8080) ) ) } For the files/ folder I don't know. According to the pier instructions, the squeak files are stored on /srv/site/ (or /site/srv/, the instructions have a typo, but imagine that it is /srv/site/) So you have: /srv/site/ and /srv/site/files The apache config proxy everything that doesn't exist on seaside/files/ to seaside. That is the reason for the document root for apache in /srv/site/files/ But in the lighttpd example that I show the logic is, if it is a specific folder, serve it directly and if it has seaside on it proxy to seaside. Anyway, give a couple hours and I'll send the equivalent exact and complete config file for lighttpd and pier. Miguel Cobá
