Lighttpd

Hi,

I'm using Lighttpd 1.4.27 on CentOS 5, with Python 2.4.3; I have installed flup as well.

The test script comes from this site:

> cat test.cgi
#!/usr/bin/python

def myapp(environ, start_response):
    start_response('200 OK', [('Content-Type', 'text/plain')])
    return ['Hello World!\n']

if __name__ == '__main__':
    from flup.server.fcgi import WSGIServer
    WSGIServer(myapp).run()

And the relevant part of my lighttpd.conf is the following:

server.modules += ( "mod_rewrite" , "mod_fastcgi" )

$HTTP["host"] == "" {
  server.document-root = "" 
  server.follow-symlink = "enable" 
  fastcgi.debug = 1
  fastcgi.server = (
    ".cgi" =>
    (
        "python-fcgi" =>
        (
         "socket" => "/tmp/hg.socket",
         "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/python /srv/www/lighttpd/test.cgi",
         "check-local" => "disable",
         "min-procs" => 1,
         "max-procs" => 1,
        )
    )
 )
}

The error log shows this on startup:

2010-08-21 15:49:08: (log.c.166) server started
2010-08-21 15:49:08: (mod_fastcgi.c.1367) --- fastcgi spawning local
        proc: /usr/bin/python /srv/www/lighttpd/test.cgi
        port: 0
        socket /tmp/hg.socket
        max-procs: 1
2010-08-21 15:49:08: (mod_fastcgi.c.1391) --- fastcgi spawning
        port: 0
        socket /tmp/hg.socket
        current: 0 / 1

Lighttpd will send me the content of the CGI file, unprocessed by Python.
and if I add '.cgi' to the static-file.exclude-extensions field, I get a 403 error.

Somehow I must be missing something :) but I've cases nearly identical with PHP and they work, but it's with the old config file, on the previous version of Lighttpd (1.4.26) so maybe some defaults are different.

Thanks for the help!
