Lighttpd

there's no breaking change recorded in wiki page:
https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/1/wiki/docs_modfastcgi

in fact the example given there also fails:

fastcgi.server = (
  ".php" =>
  (( "host" => "127.0.0.1",
     "port" => 1026,
      "bin-path" => "/usr/local/bin/php" 
  )),
  ".php4" =>
  (( "host" => "127.0.0.1",
     "port" => 1026
  ))
)

oh, i see error now: Duplicate array-key '.php'

seems no longer possible to overwrite the config, probably should add context around the fastcgi.server declaration

so, it's likely my mistake. kill the issue if have nothing to add to this issue.

To overwrite a config, you must replace it with '=', not '+='. When operating on a array, that operates on the entire array, not one entry in the array. So, no, you can not overwrite a specific extension in an existing fastcgi.server block.

You can replace the entire fastcgi.server block with all the extension you want. Yes, I realize that it can resulting in duplicating portions of config.

thanks for the feedback. i just fixed my configs not to define fastcgi block twice. however i can't seem to find button to close this issue.
