[typo] using typo as fcgi in url like: http://somehost/blog/...

[Csillag Tamás]

Hi

(I repost it here because no one at the lighttpd list answered my mail.
Thx.)

I am new to lighttpd. I like it because it is really 'lighter' than
apache and is easier to understand. However the documentation is not
enought (at least for me), or I am looking at the wrong place.

So here we go:
I set up typo (blog engine) as a fcgi application that everything hits
the webserver is handled with 'dispatcher.fcgi'.

I want to only redirect queries like http://myhost/blog/.* to
dispatcher.fcgi and answer the other like usual (webserver).
And dispatcher must get the SCRIPT_URL without 'blog'.

I tried several ways:
1. playing with url.rewrite
2. 'extension' in calling fcgi
But none of them works.

here is my config file:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
server.port                 = 443
server.bind                 = "rivendell.itk.ppke.hu"
server.event-handler        = "linux-sysepoll"

server.modules              = ( "mod_rewrite", "mod_fastcgi", "mod_rewrite", "mod_redirect" )
server.document-root        = "/var/www/webroot"
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/blog" {
    #url.rewrite-once            = ( "^/blog/(.*)" => "/$1" )
    #^^^ tried but does not work
    server.indexfiles           = ( "dispatch.fcgi" )
    server.document-root        = "/var/www/public/typo/public/"
    server.error-handler-404    = "/dispatch.fcgi"
}
server.errorlog             = "/var/www/public/typo/log/error.log"
server.username             = "www-data"

ssl.engine = "enable"
ssl.pemfile = "...somewhere/server.pem"

url.rewrite = ( "^$" => "index.html", "^([^.]+)$" => "$1.html" )

#### fastcgi module
fastcgi.server =  (
   ".fcgi" => (
     "/" => (
       "min-procs" => 2,
       "max-procs" => 2,
       "socket" => "/tmp/typo1.socket",
       "bin-path" => "/var/www/public/typo/public/dispatch.fcgi",
       "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" => "production" ),
       "idle-timeout" => 120
     )
   )
)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
mimetypes omitted.
