[Cppcms-users] lighttp + fastcgi configuration problem

[Alexey U. <um...@gm...>]

Hello!

After running my test app behind the web back-end I've encountered a
problem with URL dispatching.
I have a virtual host on my machine "app.net" and appropriate record has
been putted to /etc/hosts: "app.net 127.0.0.1".
I'm running my app externally. My lighttp configuration related to subject
is as follows:

$HTTP["host"] == "app.net" {
server.document-root = "/opt/sites/app/"
alias.url += ("/scripts" => "/opt/sites/app/scripts" )
}

# here I expect all address strings which contain "app.net" are delivered
to my app
fastcgi.server = ( "/" => ((
"socket" => "/tmp/app-fcgi-socket",
"max-procs" => 1,
"check-local" => "disable"
))
)

My CppCMS config:
{
"service" : {
"api" : "fastcgi",
"socket" : "/tmp/app-fcgi-socket"
}
}

I manage URLs in following way:
MyApp::MyApp(cppcms::service& srv) :
cppcms::application(srv)
{
dispatcher().assign("", &MyApp::main, this);
dispatcher().assign("/home", &MyApp::main, this);
dispatcher().assign("/page1", &MyApp::page1, this);
dispatcher().assign("/page2", &MyApp::page2, this);
}

void MyApp::main() {
content::Home home;
home.text = "Welcome home!";
render("Home", home);
}

void MyApp::page1() {
content::Page1 page;
page.text = "Page 1";
render("Page", page);
}

void MyApp::page2() {
content::Page2 page;
page.text = "Page";
render("Page2", page2);
}

I expected the following behavior:
http://app.net -> "Welcome home!"
http://app.net/page1 -> "Page 1"
http://app.net/page2 -> "Page 2"

but I'm getting the following:
http://app.net -> "Welcome home!"
http://app.net/page1 -> "Welcome home!"
http://app.net/page2 -> "Welcome home!"

And I've noticed that
http://app.net -> "Welcome home!"
http://app.net/asd/page1 -> "Page 1"
http://app.net/asd/page2 -> "Page 2"

(I can use any string in place of "asd" above and it's OK)

Seems like there are lighttp configuration problem but I don't know how to
cope with it.

Any ideas about how to achieve what I expect?
Thank you!

You need URL Rewriting:

Re: [Cppcms-users] lighttp + fastcgi configuration problem

[Alexey U. <um...@gm...>]

Thanks for the link. I should have read it before... Eventually it helped :)

But such a kind of configuration is quite hard (at least to me - I'm not
versed in web back-ends) to make it work off the cuff. So I think fit to
put some of my configurations here - perhaps it would be of help to
someone. I know my lighttpd.conf isn't well written for production, but it
works for me while I'm in research.

piece of my lighttpd.conf related to this particular application:

$HTTP["host"] == "app.net" {
server.document-root = "/opt/sites/app",
alias.url = (
"/scripts" => "/opt/sites/app/scripts/",
)

url.rewrite-once = (
"^(/scripts/.*)" => "$1",
"^/(.*)" => "/app/$1"
)
fastcgi.server = (
"/app" => ((
"socket" => "/tmp/app-fcgi-socket",
"max-procs" => 1,
"check-local" => "disable",
))
)

}

CppCMS config:

{
"service" : {
"api" : "fastcgi",
"socket" : "/tmp/app-fcgi-socket"
}
}


Good luck!
