Description
===========
CGI programs allow you to enhance the functionality of the server in a very
straight and simple way..
Options
=======
cgi.assign
file-extensions that are handled by a CGI program
e.g.: ::
cgi.assign = ( ".pl" => "/usr/bin/perl",
".cgi" => "/usr/bin/perl" )
For PHP don't forget to set cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 in the php.ini.
To get the old cgi-bin behavior of apache:
::
#Note: make sure that mod_alias is loaded if you use this:
alias.url += ( "/cgi-bin" => server_root + "/cgi-bin" )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/cgi-bin" {
cgi.assign = ( "" => "" )
}
Examples
========
To setup an a executable which can run on its own (e.g. binaries, doesn't need the help of a external program
(this includes scripts
with a shebang she bang line) you just don't specify a
handler for the extension: extension. ::
cgi.assign = ( ".sh" => "" )
If the file has no extension keep in mind that lighttpd matches not the
extension itself but the right part of the URL: ::
cgi.assign = ( "/testfile" => "" )
