LightTPD optional modules

"mod_access",
# The access module is used to deny access to files.

Options
url.access-deny
Denies access to all files with any of given trailing path names.
Default value:empty

access.deny-all
Denies access to all files.
Note: access.deny-all should be used with a conditional to limit it (only from lighty 1.5x)

-----

"mod_accesslog",

accesslog.filename
name of the file where the accesslog should be written to if syslog is not used.

if the name starts with a '|' the rest of the name is taken as the name of a process which will be spawned and will get the output

e.g.:

accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd.log" 

$HTTP["host"] == "mail.example.org" {
  accesslog.filename = "|/usr/bin/cronolog" 
}

if you have multiple workers on 1.4.x (now, the current version) and want all access logs to be written (without that, only one worker will write logs), use accesslog.filename = "\|/usr/sbin/cronolog.."

Default: disabled

"mod_alias"
The alias module is used to specify a special document-root for a given url-subset.
e.g

alias.url = ( "/cgi-bin/" => "/var/www/servers/www.example.org/cgi-bin/" )

and additional locations can be added

alias.url += ( "/content" => "/var/www/servers/www.somecontent.org/" )

Trailing slashes are stripped from the url before matching an alias.

i.e. the alias "/content/ => "/dirtocontent/" will not match the url "/content/"; 

it matches only something like "/content/somefile" or "/content/somesubdir/".

So in most cases you shouldn't use a trailing slash on the left side,

but DO use it on the right side!): 

e.g. "/content" => "/dirtocontent/"

Now 

   "/content_x1/" is mapped to "/dirtocontent/_x1", 

   "/content/" -> "/dirtocontent/" and 

   "/content/somefile" -> "/dirtocontent//somefile" (yes, double slash).

If you don't use it on the right side too, 

   "/content_x1/" is mapped to "/dirtocontent_x1"

which you probably don't want.

alias.url = (
  "/aa" => "/domain_aa_site/"
  "/somewhere/else" => "/other/docroot/"
)

Configuring LightTPD for Windows 7 - part 1 - File locations and port

Part 1a - File Locations

Stored in
<install directory>/conf/lighttpd.conf
in the server.document-root property

e.g.

server.document-root = "/var/www/servers/www.example.org/pages/" 

or

server.document-root        = server_root + "/htdocs"

Key thing: the files do not need to be stored in a sub-directory of the web-server's install directory.

Part 1b - Server Port

server.port = 3000

or

## bind to port (default: 80)

#server.port                = 80
