I did a sync and selfupdate, however, when I run sudo port install lighttpd, I get:
---> Fetching lighttpd ---> Attempting to fetch lighttpd-1.4.4.tar.gz from http://www.lighttpd.net//download/ —> Attempting to fetch lighttpd-1.4.4.tar.gz from http://distfiles-od.opendarwin.org/ —> Attempting to fetch lighttpd-1.4.4.tar.gz from http://distfiles-msn.opendarwin.org/ —> Attempting to fetch lighttpd-1.4.4.tar.gz from http://distfiles-bay13.opendarwin.org/ Error: Target com.apple.fetch returned: fetch failed

Thanks for maintaining this Portfile!

Looks like a lighttpd.conf file is missing from the DarwinPorts version. Not much work to copy it out of the original source tarball, but I’m sure you’ll add it when you have the time.

GASGARAGE, there is a lighttpd.conf.sample file provided in the source builds of lighttpd; thus I’m not sure, but I presume that ports will stuff it into /usr/local/share/lighttpd- or somesuch.

Hi again Jake. First, I want to say about this blog has resulted very useful for me.

Now I’m sucesfully with Ruby on Panther.
I’ve been able to try it over WebRick (very simple and fast) and Apache 1.3 with fastCGI (a bit harder to setup),
but I really don’t know how to use lighttp after installation. Isn’t there a lighttpd.conf anywhere?

Yup, I’m testing a new Portfile with the update. I should have it submitted within the next few days.

Sorry, now I know that DP will make all those ugly things for me…

But now I can’t find lighttpd-1.3.15 portfile at http://www.darwinports.com, neither at darwinports.opendarwin.org or even here.

(DP is right now installing 1.3.14 finally)

Hi, I’m trying to install lighttpd in Panther but I can’t. My knownless of linux/Unix is very limited. This is the point where I am, absolutely blocked:

1. I’ve download dmg of DP. Installed like a charm.
(I’ve added /opt/local/bin to PATH in /etc/profile)
2. I’ve download lighttpd-1.3.15, extracted files, configure, make & make install..all correct (i guess)
3. Now trying:
a)port install lighttpd
–>Port lighttpd not found
b)port install lighttpd-1.3.15
–>Port lighttpd not found
c)port search lighttpd
–>No match for lighttpd found
c)port search lighttpd-1.3.15
–>No match for lighttpd-1.3.15 found

What I’m doing bad?

Does lighttpd do pgsql virtual hosting? I thought it only worked with mysql at the moment. I’ll take a look at the docs; if there’s a way to configure it with pg8, I’ll set it up.

Would it be possible to add a postgresql8 variant as well?
