Lighttpd

Not sure what your asking for, it's documented, and you didn't list any problems or issues, just saying, lighttpd is broken. Maybe explain or say what it is your attempting?

As far as virtual hosting goes, it's dead simple, you just add a HTTP["host"] conditional, and that is all you need.

Or maybe you want to do it via ip address instead, then use the SERVER["SOCKET"] conditional instead.

For crying out loud patrick i even enter 2 urls...didn't you see the urls? i mean i have been all over the internet saying what my issue is..its just cumbersome starting all over again.

Lets just say assume i just downloaded lighttpd and i have default conf files...what do i go from there.
And if you mention its documented on lighttpd website well why haven't i or several other people who tried to help didn't figure it out?

Ok here is the deal...i have 3 websites i want to setup i have web1.com, web2.com and web3.com. I want to setup URL redirect from www to non-www for these websites.

Here is what i have:

$HTTP["host"] =~ "^www\.(.*)$" {
  url.redirect-code = 301
  url.redirect = (
    "/(.*)" => "http://%1/$1" 
  )
}

$HTTP["host"] == "www.web1.com" {
#url.redirect  = (
#    "^/(.*)" => "http://web1.com/$1",
#  )
    server.document-root = "/var/www/web1.com/public_html" 
#    accesslog.filename = "/var/www/web1.com/logs/error.log" 
}

$HTTP["host"] == "web2.com" {
    server.document-root = "/var/www/web2.com/public_html" 
#    accesslog.filename = "/var/www/web2.com/logs/error.log" 
}

$HTTP["host"] == "web3.com" {
    server.document-root = "/var/www/web3.com/public_html" 
#    accesslog.filename = "/var/www/web3.com/logs/error.log" 
}

Now with the above configuration...i have php-fpm installed...i followed the guide from http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-lighttpd-with-php5-php-fpm-and-mysql-support-on-centos-6.3 and i have wordpress installed on web3.com. Now with the configuration i receive errors 500 and 503 when on web3.com. Now for the redirect...the redirect is not working well, so is that the right way?

can someone please help?

See, you keep limiting your configuration, the config you post by itself is correct, therefor the stuff your not posting is causing an issue, Since you refuse to post it, and didn't post it in any of the other urls, I really can't help you at all.

the config i post is all i added to the default lighttpd.conf file.
And as i said...the redirecting is working the wrong way..instead of redirecting to non-www...it is rather going to www

also the wordpress is not working...is this anything to do with using php-fpm? As i said i gave url i followed to setup php-fpm http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-lighttpd-with-php5-php-fpm-and-mysql-support-on-centos-6.3

So what do you want me to post now?

Well, if you didn't want the www, then you need to remove the www from your match of www.web1.com, as it overrides the previous block that does the redirect.

ask the php people about wordpress?
