At the moment I am struggling with the configuration of lighttpd together with ViewVC. The configuration was ported from Apache 2.2.x, which is still running on the machine, serving the WebDAV/SVN stuff, being proxied through.
Now, the problem I am having appears to be with the rewrite rules and I'm not really sure what I am missing here. Here's my configuration (slightly condensed to keep it concise):
var.hgwebfcgi = "/var/www/vcs/bin/hgweb.fcgi"
var.viewvcfcgi = "/var/www/vcs/bin/wsgi/viewvc.fcgi"
var.viewvcstatic = "/var/www/vcs/templates/docroot"
var.vcs_errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"
var.vcs_accesslog = "/var/log/lighttpd/access.log"
$HTTP["host"] =~ "domain.tld" {
$SERVER["socket"] == ":443" {
protocol = "https://"
ssl.engine = "enable"
ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/ssl/..."
ssl.ca-file = "/etc/lighttpd/ssl/..."
ssl.use-sslv2 = "disable"
setenv.add-environment = ( "HTTPS" => "on" )
url.rewrite-once += ("^/mercurial$" => "/mercurial/" )
url.rewrite-once += ("^/$" => "/viewvc.fcgi" )
alias.url += ( "/viewvc-static" => var.viewvcstatic )
alias.url += ( "/robots.txt" => var.robots )
alias.url += ( "/favicon.ico" => var.favicon )
alias.url += ( "/mercurial" => var.hgwebfcgi )
alias.url += ( "/viewvc.fcgi" => var.viewvcfcgi )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/mercurial" {
fastcgi.server += (
".fcgi" => ( (
"bin-path" => var.hgwebfcgi,
"socket" => "/tmp/hgwebdir.sock",
"min-procs" => 1,
"max-procs" => 5
) )
)
} else $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/viewvc\.fcgi" {
fastcgi.server += (
".fcgi" => ( (
"bin-path" => var.viewvcfcgi,
"socket" => "/tmp/viewvc.sock",
"min-procs" => 1,
"max-procs" => 5
) )
)
}
expire.url = ( "/viewvc-static" => "access plus 60 days" )
server.errorlog = var.vcs_errorlog
accesslog.filename = var.vcs_accesslog
}
}
Now, when I access the domain.tld, I correctly see the index of the repositories. However, when I look at the links for each respective repository (or click them, for that matter), it's of the form https://domain.tld/viewvc.fcgi/reponame instead of the intended https://domain.tld/reponame.
What do I have to change/add to achieve this? Do I have to "abuse" the index file mechanism somehow? Goal is to keep the /mercurial alias functional.
So far I've tried sifting through the lighttpd book from Packt again, also through the lighttpd documentation, but found nothing that seemed to match the problem.
