NAME

       lighttpd - a fast, secure and flexible web server

SYNOPSIS

       lighttpd [-ptDvVh] -f configfile [-m moduledir]

DESCRIPTION

       lighttpd (pronounced 'lighty') is an advanced HTTP daemon that aims to be secure, fast, compliant and very flexible.  It has been optimized
       for high performance.  Its feature set includes, but is not limited to, FastCGI, CGI, basic and digest HTTP authentication, output compres-
       sion, URL rewriting.

       This manual page only lists the command line arguments.	For details on how to configure lighttpd and its modules see the files in the doc-
       directory.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -f  configfile
	       Load configuration file configfile.

       -m  moduledir
	       Use moduledir as the directory that contains modules, instead of the default.

       -p      Print the parsed configuration file in its internal form and exit.

       -t      Test the configuration file for syntax errors and exit.

       -D      Do not daemonize (go into background). The default is to daemonize.

       -v      Show version and exit.

       -V      Show compile-time features and exit.

       -h      Show a brief help message and exit.

FILES

       /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
	       The standard location for the configuration file.

       /var/run/lighttpd.pid
	       The standard location for the PID of the running lighttpd process.

NAME

       Plack::Middleware::LighttpdScriptNameFix - fixes wrong SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO that lighttpd sets

SYNOPSIS

	 # in your app.psgi
	 use Plack::Builder;

	 builder {
	   enable "LighttpdScriptNameFix";
	   $app;
	 };

	 # Or from the command line
	 plackup -s FCGI -e 'enable "LighttpdScriptNameFix"' /path/to/app.psgi

DESCRIPTION

       This middleware fixes wrong "SCRIPT_NAME" and "PATH_INFO" set by lighttpd when you mount your app under the root path ("/"). If you use
       lighttpd 1.4.23 or later you can instead enable "fix-root-scriptname" flag inside "fastcgi.server" instead of using this middleware.

CONFIGURATION

       script_name
	   Even with "fix-root-scriptname", lighttpd still sets weird "SCRIPT_NAME" and "PATH_INFO" if you mount your application at "" or
	   something that ends with "/". Setting "script_name" option tells the middleware how to reconstruct the new correct "SCRIPT_NAME" and
	   "PATH_INFO".

	   If you mount the app under "/something/", you should set:

	     enable "LighttpdScriptNameFix", script_name => "/something";

	   and when a request for "/something/a/b?param=1" comes, "SCRIPT_NAME" becomes "/something" and "PATH_INFO" becomes "/a/b".

	   "script_name" option is set to empty by default, which means all the request path is set to "PATH_INFO" and it behaves like your
	   fastcgi application is mounted in the root path.
