cant find /etc/iipimage/iipimage-lighttpd.conf

[Anonymous]

I am trying to follow installation and configuration instructions with Lighttpd on a minimal Debian 8.2 server.
http://iipimage.sourceforge.net/documentation/server/

There it says:

Debian users who have installed the iipimage package can simply use the included configuration file. First install lighttpd and enable iipimage:

sudo apt-get install lighttpd
sudo ln -s /etc/iipimage/iipimage-lighttpd.conf /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/99-iipimage.conf
sudo lighty-enable-mod iipimage
sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd force-reload

The problem is on second line:

After iipimage package installation with apt-get, I couldn't fine none of those .conf files
I understand we are creating a link to /etc/iipimage/iipimage-lighttpd.conf
But the problem is that file does not exist, so the link points to nothing.
Not even the folder "/etc/iipimage" exists.

So, when I execute "sudo lighty-enable-mod iipimage", I get this error:
can't read /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/99-iipimage.conf: No such file or directory

Thanks

Sorry, this is out of date. The iipimage-server package should have automatically installed the lighttpd config files at /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/20-iipsrv.conf. So, remove the link you created at /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/99-iipimage.conf and simply restart lighttpd and it should work. You'll see the iipsrv info page at http://your.server/iipsrv/iipsrv.fcgi

For more details, see this post: http://iipimage.sourceforge.net/2012/10/iipimage-now-an-official-ubuntu-package/

I think I had already tried those instructions also. Same result
Is the apt-get install procedure valid for both debian 8 and ubuntu 14?
Does it matter if iipimage is installed before or after lighttpd?

[Ruven]

If you've installed lighttpd after, then the iipimage package would not have detected it and would not have installed the config file, so you should reinstall the iipimage package.

[DGSL]

OK. I tried again in this order, on Debian GNU/Linux 8.2 (jessie):

sudo apt-get remove iipimage-server
sudo apt-get remove lighttpd

sudo apt-get autoremove
(to remove some apache2 related stuff installed by iipimage-server, and start from zero again)

sudo apt-get install lighttpd
sudo apt-get install iipimage-server

lynx http://localhost
(that works, lighttpd welcome page)

lynx http://localhost/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi
(that returns "404 - Not Found")

ls -l /etc/lighttpd/conf-available
(there is not "20-iipsrv.conf" in the list of files)

Is it possible to download that file from somewhere, just to try if that makes things work?

Thanks a lot

[Ruven]

lynx http://localhost/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi
(that returns "404 - Not Found")

On Debian and Ubuntu, the path is /iipsrv/iipsrv.fcgi and not /fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi
If that still doesn't work, I'll extract the iipsrv.conf file for you

[DGSL]

So, Ruven, ¿what do you think? Is this missing .conf file the only odd thing?

I am surprised that nobody else has faced this problem before in Debian/Ubuntu, since the installation steps are really simple.

Looking to your blog post, the iipimage-server package was released for Ubuntu 12.10 / Debian 7
Maybe it is not compatible with new Debian/Ubuntu versions?
I am trying it on Ubuntu 14.04 / Debian 8.2

[DGSL]

Same result now under Debian 7.0

No errors reported during installation.
iipimage server simply does not work

[DGSL]

sorry, my mistake, I had tried both paths but posted the wrong one.
404 as well at http://localhost/iipsrv/iipsrv.fcgi

[DGSL]

I am making my tests on Virtualbox machines.
I have just repeated the whole process with a fresh Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS

Exactly same results

dgsl@ubuntu:~$ history

11 sudo apt-get install lynx
13 sudo apt-get install lighttpd
14 sudo apt-get install iipimage-server
15 lynx localhost
16 lynx localhost/iipsrv/iipsrv.fcgi

error 404 in last step

(again, there is not "20-iipsrv.conf" in the list of files)

It is with me unfortunately exactly the same. I have several times everything as in the obsolete documentation installed. Unfortunately without success. iipsrv does not work.

[Ruven]

You'll need to give some more details to understand what the problem is ...

[Anonymous]

I have the exact same problem the debian packages simply does not install a config file! What can we do?

[Ruven]

You can find the contents of the 20-iipsrv.conf file here directly from the Debian package repository: https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/collab-maint/deb-maint/iipimage/trunk/debian/20-iipsrv.conf?view=markup

It should install automatically, but if not, try creating the 20-iipsrv.conf file yourself

This URL is no longer valid.
Here is what you need to put in your 20-iipsrv.conf file :

# Lighttpd configuration of the iipimage-server package.

                        "CORS" => "*", # Changing this parameter requires a reboot
                        "FILESYSTEM_PREFIX" => "/srv/iipsrv/"

Look likes the new location for the Debian repository is here: https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/iipimage/-/blob/master/debian/20-iipsrv.conf

Ah, that is of great help, thank you!
