Raven, 1) Use $SERVER["socket"] == "100.101.102.103" { instead of $HTTP["host"] == "100.101.102.103" {
2) Did you restart lighttpd with /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart and where there any problems when restarting? 3) Is "mod_fastcgi" included with server.modules in lighttpd.conf? 4) Is web2py actually running such as started with cd /var/www/web2py && sudo -u www-data nohup python fcgihandler.py & You can see if the web2py process is alive with ps ax | grep python A line with fcgihandler.py should appear once. If appears more than once then kill all fcgihandler.py python processes with ps number where number is the first number on each line of 'ps ax' that includes fcgihandler.py. Restart web2py with python fcgihandler.py & or similar 5) Check file nohup.out in /var/www/web2py for errors John Heenan On Feb 19, 10:36 am, raven <ravenspo...@yahoo.com> wrote: > John, > > Here is what I have placed in the file /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf > > $ > > fastcgi.server = ( > "/handler_web2py.fcgi" => ( > "handler_web2py" => ( #name for logs > "check-local" => "disable", > "socket" => "/tmp/fcgi.sock", > ) > ) > ) > > $HTTP["host"] == "100.101.102.103" { > server.document-root="/home/james/web2py" > url.rewrite-once = ( > "^(/.+?/static/.+)$" => "/applications$1", > "(^|/.*)$" => "/handler_web2py.fcgi$1", > ) > > } > > Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? > > On Feb 18, 6:46 pm, John Heenan <johnmhee...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi Raven > > > The name fcgihandler.py is just the name of a web2py start up file > > passed to Python. > > > The name fcgihandler.py should not or need not appear anywhere in the > > lightttpd.conf file, since there is no need to give lighttpd the > > responsibility to start up web2py as an independent process. > > > What lighttpd needs to know is where the UNIX socket is that is > > configured for use by web2py in fcgihandler.py.
