= FAQs = == Where to get help? == IRC: [http://www.freenode.net/ freenode], channel [irc://irc.freenode.net/lighttpd #lighttpd] Mailing list: [http://lighttpd.net/documentation/ details], [http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.lighttpd archive]. == General == === Filenames with + in them work fine in Apache, but not in lighttpd === == The + represents a ' ' (space) in URLs. Apache circumvents the missing URI escaping and tries to find the file with a '+' if the one with the ' ' could not be found. Solution: Always escape URIs. In php you have [http://www.php.net/urlencode urlencode]. === How do I bind to more than one address? === Use server.bind and server.port to bind to the first port and then the $SERVER["socket"] conditional to bind to the rest (it will 'magically' bind to the specified socket). Example that exposes /server-status to an internal IP only (note that it's perfectly valid to leave the body of the conditional empty): {{{ server.port = 80 server.bind = "192.0.2.1" $SERVER["socket"] == "192.168.2.100:80" { status.status-url = "/server-status" } }}} This can also be combined with [http://www.lighttpd.net/documentation/ssl.html SSL]. == FastCGI == === Where is the spawn-php program/script available from? it's mentioned in docs but not available in the distributed package (1.3.7) === If you install lighttpd (http://lighttpd.net/download/INSTALL), the spawn-fcgi binary is installed automatically (to /usr/bin/spawn-fcgi by default). The spawn-php.sh script can be found here: http://www.lighttpd.net/download/spawn-php.sh === How do I exclude a certain directory from FastCGI? === {{{ $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/no-fcgi/" { fastcgi.server = ( "/" => ... ) } }}} You can also use server.error-handler-404 to redirect all non-existent files to FastCGI (see LighttpdOnRails for an example).
