h1. Ruby on Rails with Lighttpd 


 A document is available at http://old.bougyman.com/RailsonDebian.html which contains step by step instructions on setting rails up with lighttpd.    A more abbreviated version (different author, i believe jawong) is available at http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/Lighttpd . 
 May you have happy Railing. 

 h2. Lighttpd 1.5 

 Get "cleanurl.lua":http://nordisch.org./cleanurl.lua from http://nordisch.org./. 

 <pre> 
 $HTTP["host"] == "rails-app.example.org" { 
     server.document-root = "/path/to/rails-application/public/" 
     magnet.attract-physical-path-to = ( "/etc/lighttpd/cleanurl.lua" ) 

     $HTTP["url"] == "/dispatch.fcgi" { 
         proxy-core.backends = ( "unix:/var/run/lighttpd/rails-application.sock" ) 
         proxy-core.protocol = "fastcgi" 
         proxy-core.allow-x-sendfile = "enable" 
     } 
 } 
 </pre> 

 h2. Using RubyOnRails in a simple-vhost environment 


 Let's say: For an easy setup you want to use "simple-vhost":http://www.lighttpd.net/documentation/simple-vhost.html but still want to separate the rails-installation: 


 <pre> 

 $HTTP["host"] == "ruby.example.org" { 
   server.document-root = "/var/www/site/public/" 
   fastcgi.server = ... 
 } 
 $HTTP["host"] != "ruby.example.org" { 
   simple-vhost.server-root = "/var/www/servers/" 
   simple-vhost.default-host = "www.example.org" 
   simple-vhost.document-root = "pages" 
 } 
 </pre>
