lighttpd: why using port >= 9000 does not work properly

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I had a lighttpd server which works normally. I can access this website from outside(non-localhost) via http://vm.aaa.com:8080. Let's just assume that it's a simple static website, without php or mysql. Now I want to copy this website as a test one(using another port) in the same machine. And I do not want to use virtual host. So I just copy the whole files of original server, including lighttpd's bin/ conf/ htdocs/ lib/ and so on folders. And I made some required change, including changing lighttpd.conf. Now what I'm confused is, if change the port to a number that is less than 9000, it wor (HowTos)

[ubuntu] Port 8080 blocked? 32 weeks 4 days ago

Hi All

I'm trying to create a python-based website using wsgi, following instructions such as these.

This all works just fine as long as I'm accessing the website from the same PC on which it is hosted. However, when I try to access it from another PC on the same network (there shouldn't be any firewall between the two), it tells me the host can't be found. I'm using port 8080 for this.

I'm really just starting out with lighttpd and I'm not sure how to configure this exactly.

I'm wanting to take traffic and redirect to another server say "http://localhost/url_a/" and redirect the request and responses from that to "http://other_server:8080/"

Another example would be "http://localhost/url_a/" going to "http://other_server:8081/url_b/"

What exactly should I look into for accomp

I need to set up a simple web server with PHP on Windows XP that a number of different people will use for local testing.

I'm using LightTPD 1.4.30-4-IPv6-Win32-SSL and PHP 5.2.

So far I've created this folder structure:

tools/ LightTPD/ htdocs/ PHP/

I set up PHP as CGI and the document root as server_root + "/htdocs".

lighttpd adding vhost error 1 year 14 weeks ago

I'm trying to have multiple domains. Followed the instructions from web and added the lines in lighttpd.conf file:

$HTTP["host"] =~ “(^|.)example.com$” { server.document-root = “/var/www/example.com″ }

but when I restart the server I get the error:

(configfile.c.859) source: /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf line: 37 pos: 13 invalid character in variable name 2012-02-15 07:38:57: (conf

I have a web server running on port 8080. I'd like to visit it via port 80, so I did this:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080

it works if i access the server from other machines using

http://ipoftheserver/

but it doesn't work if I access the server from the same machine using

http://localhost/

why is that?

thanks in advance.

I have a Lighttpd server as a front end for Ruby on rails.

Some subdomains (server1.domain.com, server2.domain.com) are configured with proxy.

But also have a standard static web server at www.domain.com.

It works, but the call without subdomain (domain.com) does not work.

How could I configure Lighttpd for it?

Configuration for proxy:

$HTTP["host"] =~ "www.domain." { alias.url = ( "/sys
