ATX and lighttpd
 

Does anyone use ATX with lighttpd?
I cannot make the in.cgi work on the index page because lighttpd does not have virtual() in php.
Has anyone found a way around this?

A plain SSI Include doesn't work either?

Maybe this will help

cgi itself works, it's just the virtual function is missing from php and does not work in ssi.
I really wanted to run lighttpd and I think it's stupid to run apache just for something like this. Either I will have to figure out a work around or move to apache. :(

You could try this..

You can always proxy lighthttpd to apache.

Yeah I have found everything like that and tried them all.

Nothing works. It is hard searching for this issue because the only thing that really comes up is lighttpd virtual host issues.

If it's even possible, I will figure it out and when I do I will post for others.

Thanks for the replies.

<?php
# Change this to the full path of in.cgi
$CGISCRIPT="/full/path/cgi-bin/a2/in.cgi";
putenv('REQUEST_METHOD=GET');
if(isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) putenv('QUERY_STRING='.$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) putenv('HTTP_USER_AGENT='.$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_VIA'])) putenv('HTTP_VIA='.$_SERVER['HTTP_VIA']);
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL'])) putenv('HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL='.$_SERVER['HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL']);
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) putenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR='.$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']);
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) putenv('HTTP_REFERER='.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_COOKIE'])) putenv('HTTP_COOKIE='.$_SERVER['HTTP_COOKIE']);
putenv('REMOTE_ADDR='.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
unset($return_array);
exec($CGISCRIPT, $return_array, $return_val);
$firstline=array_shift($return_array);
echo implode($return_array,"\r\n");
?>

Works like a charm now! :)

Here is the vhost part for lighttpd and a site running smart thumbs and atx

var.vhostdir = "/usr/local/www/vhosts"

$SERVER["socket"] == "x.x.x.x:80" {
$HTTP["host"] =~ "(^|\.)domain\.com$" {
alias.url += ( "/cgi-bin" => vhostdir + "/www.domaincom/cgi-bin" )
server.document-root = vhostdir + "/www.domain.com/htdocs"
accesslog.filename = vhostdir + "/www.domain.com/logs/access.log"
server.errorlog = vhostdir + "/www.domain.com/logs/error.log"
$HTTP["host"] =~ "^domain\.com$" {
url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "http://www.domain.com/$1" )
}
auth.backend = "htpasswd"
auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = vhostdir + "/www.domain.com/htdocs/st/admin/.htpasswd"
auth.require = ( "/st/admin/" =>
(
"method" => "basic",
"realm" => "SmartThumbs admin",
"require" => "valid-user"
)
)
}
}

Since .htaccess doesn't work with lighttpd you will also need to make a index.php in /st/admin/ with this:

<?php header('Location: rotator.php'); ?>

Then instead of putting:

<?php virtual ("/cgi-bin/a2/in.cgi"); ?>

Put this:

<?php
$CGISCRIPT="/usr/local/www/vhosts/www.domain.com/cgi-bin/a2/in.cgi";
putenv('REQUEST_METHOD=GET');
if(isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) putenv('QUERY_STRING='.$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) putenv('HTTP_USER_AGENT='.$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_VIA'])) putenv('HTTP_VIA='.$_SERVER['HTTP_VIA']);
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL'])) putenv('HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL='.$_SERVER['HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL']);
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) putenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR='.$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']);
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) putenv('HTTP_REFERER='.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_COOKIE'])) putenv('HTTP_COOKIE='.$_SERVER['HTTP_COOKIE']);
putenv('REMOTE_ADDR='.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
unset($return_array);
exec($CGISCRIPT, $return_array, $return_val);
$firstline=array_shift($return_array);
echo implode($return_array,"\r\n");
?>

Other then these couple of tweaks everything else is the same.

Frank is adding the above php code to the arrow scripts knowledge base.
