How To Set Up WebDAV With Lighttpd On Mandriva 2008.1

How To Set Up WebDAV With Lighttpd On Mandriva 2008.1

This guide explains how to set up WebDAV with lighttpd on a Mandriva 2008.1 server. WebDAV stands for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning and is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol that allow users to directly edit files on the lighttpd server so that they do not need to be downloaded/uploaded via FTP. Of course, WebDAV can also be used to upload and download files.

New prereleases: 1.4.20-r2294 and 1.5-r2294

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:06:33 -0700

It’s been some time since the last 1.4 release and especially since the last 1.5 prerelease. There have been a lot of fixes in both branches so be sure to check them out, no matter if you are using 1.4 or 1.5.

You can get the prereleases from this url: http://opensu.se/~darix/lighttpd/

The 1.4.20 changes can be read here:
http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/browser/branches/lighttpd-1.4.x/NEWS
While 1.5 changes can be fetched from here:
http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/browser/trunk/NEWS

We ask you to test these snapshots as extensive as possible and report any broken things back to us.
If everything goes well and no showstoppers are encountered, there will be an official 1.4.20 release soon.

As for 1.5: should this prerelease be stable and bugfree enough, it will be the last prerelease and there will be a 1.5.0 release. It will not retire the 1.4 branch though. There are still some things missing in 1.5 like internal spawning of fcgi backends that prevent it form being the next main branch.

You can thank stbuehler for all his hard work he has put into both trees as he is responsible for nearly all of the work recently.

If you want to get the latest source for any branch, you can get it from our svn repository.
Documentation to do so can be obtained from this page:
http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/Devel/Subversion
Bug reports or feature requests can be filed in our trac ticket system:
http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/newticket
Please make sure to check if there isn’t a ticket already here:
http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/report

Thank you for using lighty.

delay request handling for stupid crawlers

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:06:32 -0700

I’m sure you know what “Crawl-Delay” is, but you may or may not know that, not all search engine crawlers support this nice stuff.

What to do for those don’t obey the instrustion? They’ll eat all your Mbits/month or slow your webserver down. OK, ban it with url.access-deny. This is the only option u can choose before. But you don’t want to remove your pages from the stupid search engine index, do you?

Here comes another option for you: with this patch, u can delay handling of a specified request for some seconds. Example configuration:

$HTTP["user-agent"] =~ "stupid-crawler" {
    connection.delay-seconds = 2
}

OK, here’s the link to the lighttpd-2296-request-handle-delay.patch which applies to branches/lighttpd-1.4.x@2296

Be aware that this patch is to be reviewed before commited to repo.

Creating Advanced MySQL-Based Virtual Hosts On Lighttpd (Debian Etch)

Creating Advanced MySQL-Based Virtual Hosts On Lighttpd (Debian Etch)

This guide explains how you can create advanced virtual hosts on a lighttpd web server on Debian Etch that are stored in a MySQL database. The method described here does not use the lighttpd mod_mysql_vhost module, and unlike mod_mysql_vhost (which allows you to store only the hostname and document root of a vhost in a database), this method allows to store individual configuration directives for each vhost in the MySQL database.

Creating Simple Virtual Hosts With mod_mysql_vhost On Lighttpd (Debian Etch)

Creating Simple Virtual Hosts With mod_mysql_vhost On Lighttpd (Debian Etch)

This guide explains how you can use mod_mysql_vhost to create simple virtual hosts on a lighttpd web server on Debian Etch. With mod_mysql_vhost, lighttpd can read the vhost configuration from a MySQL database. Currently, you can store the domain and the document root in the MySQL database which results in very simple virtual hosts. If you need more directives for your vhosts, you'd have to configure them in the global section of lighttpd.conf, which means they'd be valid for all vhosts. Therefore, mod_mysql_vhost is ideal if your vhosts differ only in the domain and document root.

lighttpd fly light

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 10:53:43 -0700

Security, speed, compliance, and flexibility -- all of these describe lighttpd (pron. lighty) which is rapidly redefining efficiency of a webserver; as it is designed and optimized for high performance environments.

Growing the team

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 09:52:12 -0700

The dev team has gotten some new members recently that you might not know of. Here’s a heads up (in alphabetical order):

hoffie
icy
nitrox
stbuehler

If you hang out in #lighttpd, you will already know these names.

That being said, there is also some news about the state of the development of lighty.

Lighty is a great webserver and we all love it. But if you use it for quite some time, you’ll eventually find out that it’s not perfect. There are some oddities and shortcomings that cannot be ironed out without rewriting a significant part of the core.

This is where I had the idea to start all over. With lessons learned from the past, we could write a new version of lighty that fixes the design issues the current versions have. But at the same time keep all the good stuff and remain fairly compatible. The main idea to be fast and lightweight is still valid and if you are familiar with 1.4.x or 1.5, you will have no problems with the new version.

Jan had the idea to use glib for stuff like strings/buffers and arrays. He wanted to rewrite the corresponding parts and did so in a branch of his. I proposed to take this even further and use glib throughout the source. It makes coding easier, faster and in the end more secure because you can rely on proven and well tested source.

stbuehler jumped in and created a new branch where he started to hack on an all new lighty using the ideas from above. The following days we discussed a lot – and still do so – about the new design. What we could do better, what shortcomings we wanted to fix.

The result is nothing less but a more flexible and faster design for lighty.

This sounds awesome but where is the catch you might think. Well, currently we have not too much code ready but we are actively hacking on it. Do not ask when it will be released, there is no estimated date. We are still at the very beginning of the new version but hope to have it some day become the official Lighttpd 2.0

We created a page that lists some of the (technical) plans we currently have. You might find some of them interesting.

This is it for today folks. Hope you like the route we are taking and maybe drop us a line in #lighttpd (freenode) or in the comments.

- update -

To make it clear: 1.5 or 1..4 have not been dropped. If you think 1.5 is unstable and you get a segfault or something like that, then tell us. File a ticket, attach a stacktrace and document the problem in a detailed way so it can be fixed. Thanks for using lighty.
