lighttpd forum migration > Any way to do this?

In my apache configs I make use of the forcetype directives as follows:

<files archive>
                AcceptPathInfo On
                ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</files>




Is there any way to duplicate this functionality in lighttpd?, basically
I need the file 'archive' to be served as a .php


Also, is there ANY way to authenticate with digest based on groups? ie. 
with apache I use a 'require group admins' in my auth statements. I can 
add all users
vie the "require" => "user=xxx|user=xxxx|user=xxxxx" but it would be 
ALOT more effeciant for a "require" => "group=admin". I know it seems 
trivial, but I've got quite a few protected areas and different sets of 
users have different levels of access, being able to do this would make 
a WORLD of difference.

TIA!

I did not try, but this might work:

HTTP["url"] =~ "/archive" {
   mimetype.assign = ("" => "application/x-httpd-php" )
}

Well, that seemed to get the file(s) assigned the proper mime type, but 
they're not being processed through php (ie when clicking on a link to 
'archive' firefox prompts to download or open with the file with the 
mime.type of application/x-httpd-php, but it's not parsed with php....

Gives me at least I've got a starting point...I'd REALLY love to get 
this working, as it's the last part of my apache configs that I've yet 
to be able to migrate...

Thanks again!

Hi,

please use fastcgi.map-extensions, it works under 1.4.10
there is no need to use mimetype.assign


fastcgi.map-extensions = ( "/archive" => ".php" )

fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => ((
         "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi",
         "socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi.sock-5-" + var.PID,
         "min-procs" => 1,
         "max-procs" => 1,
         "max-load-per-proc" => 3,
         "idle-timeout" => 60,
         "bin-environment" => (
             "PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "50",
             "PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "9999"
            ),
         "bin-copy-environment" => (
             "PATH", "SHELL", "USER"
            ),
         "broken-scriptfilename" => "enable"
    )))

excellant! thanks, that did it.....

Now that that's resolved another issue has come up. Is there something 
equal to apaches AcceptPathInfo directive to allow passing of trailing 
pathname info to a script ( 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#acceptpathinfo)?

This thing is quite impressive, my page load times (on a relatively busy 
vbulletin forum) have dropped dramatically

never tried it, but it seems on the webserver side it can be
configured by multiple fastcgi.map-extensions definitions
and some mod_rewrite

the rest must be done in a php itself, just try it
and let us know so we can fight further :-)

after testing I can confirm it works out of a box

in my configuration there is a script with filename just "8"

   fastcgi.map-extensions = ( "/8" => ".php" )

and it allows for clean URLs (SEO) like below:

   http://site.on.yourplanet.name/8/ml2500-xc204

in this example when you check environment by phpinfo()
it shows:

   SCRIPT_NAME is /8
and
   PATH_INFO is /ml2500-xc204

as expected

Chris,

In addition to what Albatros said, you should enable the 
"broken-scriptfilename" option in your FastCGI handler, for example 
here's what I have:

fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
	( "localhost" =>
		(
			"socket" => "/tmp/php-5-fastcgi.socket",
			"bin-path" => "/usr/local/php-5/bin/php-fcgi",
			"bin-copy-environment" => ( "SHELL" ),
			"broken-scriptfilename" => "enable"
		)
	)
)

And you should add this to your php.ini:

cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1

Without these, the path info doesn't come through right. This is 
documented in the "Configuring PHP" section of this page:

http://www.lighttpd.net/documentation/fastcgi.html

Yup, I had all of that set, it still refused to work so I attacked it 
from the other side and modified the php scripts themselves, instead of 
calling for '$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']' I changed them to get 
'$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']' which seemed to straighten things out and make 
them function as expected....

Hi guys,

I've read all this, and the doc page and done the two modifications:

php.ini: cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1
lighttpd.conf: "broken-scriptfilename" => "enable"

Then did
service lighttpd stop
service lighttpd start

But I still get no PHP_SELF value.

Do I need to do anything else?

INFO:
lighttpd/1.4.8
fastcgi php (PHP Version 4.4.2RC2-dev)
Centos OS (3 i think)
eaccelerator 0.9.3


Thanks!
Dan

bump - anyone have any ideas at all?
The two mods above is all the info I could find for this fix and neither
work in any combination with each other. I'd really appreciate any help!

besides what you have, you need to write
 fastcgi.map-extensions = ( "/my_file" => ".php" )
  (if you have a my_file which you want to use as php, and then it works
as
  my_file/a/b  - php can process each parameter in "path".

you also need cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 in php.ini, if you want PHP_SELF to 
work
Also I noticed you have lighttpd 1.4.8. For map-extensions and other
things to work you need at least 1.4.10 so go grab 1.4.11 rpm now :)
