Description

I have two identical versions of lighttpd (1.4.19) installed on two slightly different debian machines. One is processing the include_shell directives as expected, the other one ignores them.

I have modified /usr/share/lighttpd/create-mime.assign.pl to drop a line to a logfile, whenever called -=> stays empty.

I'm attaching the output of
strace -fe trace=open /usr/sbin/lighttpd -D -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

for the working and non-working case.

While this might be a debian specific bug, you might be the guys able to find it.

History

#1 Updated by 00marcus over 2 years ago

Hi,

the works-not file of the other post was from a test with lighttpd 1.4.28.

The one attached here is from the non-working 1.4.19 (i.e. there are three installations involved)

#2 Updated by spaam over 2 years ago

your config?
the script?

#3 Updated by 00marcus over 2 years ago

Both close to the defaults (and now attached)

FIXED

Turns out, lighttpd did not execute the include_shell scripts when I run it from within a screen session. It works when I run it from without.

Comparing both environments and playing with them bit by bit, it turned out to be a nasty misconfig in my .screenrc. The line "shell bash" caused all the problems.

SHELL=bash

running
export SHELL=/bin/bash

(or fixing the .screenrc)
rendered the system back to working.

THanks anyways.

#8 Updated by cheungtifan about 2 years ago

I do not think it is a bug -- shell should be specified to execute the script, anyway.

It also appeared on FreeBSD, however I resolved by adding SHELL=/bin/sh on top of rc.d script.
