lighttpd forum migration > Migrate Apache config to lighttpd

Hey there,

I'm trying to migrate a few name based virtual hosts from apache to 
lighty.  I've got the vhosts responding, but I don't know how to handle 
<Directory> stuff, like:


  # The web stats are private
  # e.g. http://example.com/webalizer should only be accessible
  # from inside the network
  <Directory /srv/www/www.example.com/htdocs/webalizer>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from 172.16.12
    deny from all
  </Directory>

  # this is where the scripts are stored for managing
  # the userlist for the protected area of the site
  # Note that this is OUTSIDE the document root.
  ScriptAlias /htpass/ "/srv/www/www.example.com/htpass/"
  <Directory "/srv/www/www.example.com/htpass">
    Options +ExecCGI -Includes
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>

  # this is the protected area of the site.
  # Any access here must be by authenticated users only
  <Directory "/srv/www/www.example.com/htdocs/secure/">
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Secure Files"
    AuthUserFile /srv/www/www.example.com/htpass/.htpasswd
    AuthGroupFile /srv/www/www.example.com/htpass/.htgroup
    Require valid-user
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>

Any advice appreciated.

Thank you.

Regards,
Rich

I suppose I deserved that, though I've been flipping around those files 
for much of the day.  I've got the basic auth thing working, that was 
fairly simple.

I do not see how to set up lighty to deal with a script alias:

# the userlist for the protected area of the site
ScriptAlias /htpass/ "/srv/www/www.example.com/htpass/"
<Directory "/srv/www/www.example.com/htpass">
  Options +ExecCGI -Includes
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

So, the user hits http://www.example.com/htpass/test.cgi, and expects a 
cgi to run.

Note that htpass is not inside the document root.

How do I translate the apache directives to lighty speak?

Thank you.

Regards,
Rich
