This patch won't work. C (and lighttpd) is a little bit more complex.

It seems some context from IRC did not make it into the issue description. What was/is the intent?

IIRC the intention was that the backend gets a "physical base directory" as docroot to search for application specific configurations (e.g. http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.per-user.php)

DOCUMENT_ROOT is not part of the CGI specification (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3875)

http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php describes numerous ways to attempt to reverse engineer $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] if not provided (for whatever reason)

Since lighttpd sets DOCUMENT_ROOT for the benefit of PHP, why not always set DOCUMENT_ROOT to con->physical.basedir instead of con->physical.doc_root?

Note: con->physical.basedir is equivalent to con->physical.doc_root, unless con->physical.basedir has been changed by modules such as mod_alias and mod_userdir, among others. It seems like an oversight that this is not already the case. When the base directory changes it is surprising that such is not reflected in DOCUMENT_ROOT.

(I understand that changing this now is a behavior change which might surprise some people, so perhaps there should be a server directive to user con->physical.basedir when setting DOCUMENT_ROOT in CGI, FastCGI, SCGI, and SSI.)

mod_fastcgi, mod_scgi, and mod_cgi already set DOCUMENT_ROOT to con->physical.basedir. Only mod_ssi and mod_cml_lua do not, and those should probably be considered bugs. (Why does mod_cml_lua set the PHP env var DOCUMENT_ROOT at all?)

See #2216

    [*cgi] Use physical base dir (alias, userdir) as DOCUMENT_ROOT in cgi environments (fixes #2216)

What the issue in this ticket already (mostly) solved before this ticket was created?

A post in 2014 at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.lighttpd/5361 points out the inconsistency in mod_ssi and mod_cml_lua
