Module: mod_scgi
Description¶
Brief description of mod_scgi directives
| option | description |
|---|---|
| scgi.server | backend server definition(s) for hosts to which to send requests; options for each backend host |
| scgi.balance | load-balancing algorithm for backends ("fair", "least-connection", "round-robin", "hash", or "sticky") |
| scgi.debug | debug level (value between 0 and 65535) |
| scgi.map-extensions | map multiple extensions to the same backend |
| scgi.protocol | protocol between lighttpd and backend server ("scgi" (default) or "uwsgi") (since 1.4.42) |
Details for scgi.server parameters can be found in mod_fastcgi documentation, since the SCGI module shares the same code infrastructure with the FastCGI module, and fastcgi.server parameters are very similar.
Note "check-local" is enabled by default, due to historical reasons, but most users serving virtual paths will want to disable it. If enabled, lighttpd first checks for a file in the local 'server.document-root' tree and returns 404 (Not Found) if no such file exists. If disabled, lighttpd forwards the request to the backend without performing this check.
