Re: [Cppcms-users] Some remarks

[Stanimir M. <sta...@zo...>]

Did you managed to run any server running with root "/"?

My goal is when someone types www.hostname.com to be forwarded
automatically to www.hostname.com/index trough the cppcms mapping for
the index page.
Here is my lighty.conf

server.modules              += ("mod_fastcgi")
server.document-root        = "/home/stanimir/projects/cppcmstest/build"
mimetype.assign             = (
  ".pdf"          =>      "application/pdf",
  # default mime type
  ""              =>      "application/octet-stream",
)

server.port = 80
server.bind = "www.hostname.com"
$HTTP["host"] == "www.hostname.com" {
        url.rewrite-once => ( "^/$" => "/index" ),
        fastcgi.server = ( "/" => ((
          "bin-path" =>
"/home/stanimir/projects/cppcmstest/build/cppcmstest.fcgi -c
/home/stanimir/projects/cppcmstest/build/config.txt",
          "check-local" => "disable",
          "socket" => "/tmp/cppcmstest.fcgi.socket",
          "max-procs" => 1
          )))
}

I am asking because now I want to do the same and with lighttpd i have
NO success.
With a prefix like "/myapp/" it works but you have to type
www.hostname.com/myapp/index.
