Lighttpd: simple vhost question [solved]

[jedsen]

Hi, I'm running a lighttpd server with php and ruby on rails running through the fastcgi interface. To get ruby to work I set up a simple virtual host with the following external config file for lighttpd:

$HTTP["host"] == "rolla.co.nr" {
server.document-root = "/home/<user>/ruby-www/public/"
server.indexfiles = ( "index.html", "dispatch.fcgi" )
server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"
fastcgi.server = (
".fcgi" => ((
"socket" => "/tmp/rails.sck",
"bin-path" => "/home/<user>/ruby-www/public/dispatch.fcgi",
"min-procs" => 1,
"max-procs" => 5
)
)
)
}
$HTTP["host"] != "rolla.co.nr" {
simple-vhost.server-root = "/var/www/servers/"
simple-vhost.default-host = "www.rolla.co.nr"
simple-vhost.document-root = "nonssl"
}

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to bind this virtual host to a specified directory on the host, namely /ruby/, so the url to access the ruby vhost would be http://rolla.co.nr/ruby/.

Thanks for reading.

I think that an alias should do the trick:

Code: Select all

alias.url =("/ruby/" => "/home/<user>/ruby-www/public/")

Don't forget to uncomment the mod_alias.
