Hi,

Does anyone know Lighttpd server?

Every time I try to access localhost/phpmyadmin or
localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php I get a 404 - Not Found. But,
http://localhost/testphp.php works OK. I had Apache installed in the
past but removed it and recently installed Lighttpd. I'm using Lubuntu
10.10 a flavor of Ubuntu and using my laptop (localhost)as a testbed to
learn. I have tried restarting Lighttpd after each change to the conf
file. Please tell me if more info is needed to help fix it and I will
post it. Here is my lighttpd.conf. Thanks for the help:

# Debian lighttpd configuration file

############ Options you really have to take care of
####################

## modules to load
server.modules = (
"mod_alias",
"mod_compress",
# "mod_rewrite",
# "mod_redirect",
# "mod_usertrack",
# "mod_expire",
"mod_flv_streaming",
# "mod_evasive"
"mod_fastcgi"
)

## a static document-root, for virtual-hosting take look at the
## server.virtual-* options
server.document-root = "/var/www/"

## where to upload files to, purged daily.
server.upload-dirs = ( "/var/cache/lighttpd/uploads" )

## where to send error-messages to
server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"

## files to check for if .../ is requested
index-file.names = ( "index.php", "index.html",
"index.htm", "default.htm",
"index.lighttpd.html" )

## Use the "Content-Type" extended attribute to obtain mime type if
possible
# mimetype.use-xattr = "enable"

##
# which extensions should not be handle via static-file transfer
#
# .php, .pl, .fcgi are most often handled by mod_fastcgi or mod_cgi
static-file.exclude-extensions = ( ".php", ".pl", ".fcgi" )

######### Options that are good to be but not neccesary to be changed
#######

## Use ipv6 only if available. (disabled for while, check #560837)
#include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/use-ipv6.pl"

## bind to port (default: 80)
# server.port = 81

## bind to localhost only (default: all interfaces)
## server.bind = "localhost"

## error-handler for status 404
#server.error-handler-404 = "/error-handler.html"
#server.error-handler-404 = "/error-handler.php"

## to help the rc.scripts
server.pid-file = "/var/run/lighttpd.pid"

##
## Format: <errorfile-prefix><status>.html
## -> ..../status-404.html for 'File not found'
#server.errorfile-prefix = "/var/www/"

## virtual directory listings
dir-listing.encoding = "utf-8"
server.dir-listing = "enable"

### only root can use these options
#
# chroot() to directory (default: no chroot() )
#server.chroot = "/"

If you are in an open network, or running in a DMZ, you certainly want to use chroot for your server.
Just set this to the directory above your DocumentRoot.

## change uid to <uid> (default: don't change)
server.username = "www-data"

## change gid to <gid> (default: don't change)
server.groupname = "www-data"

#### compress module
compress.cache-dir = "/var/cache/lighttpd/compress/"
compress.filetype = ("text/plain", "text/html",
"application/x-javascript", "text/css")

#### url handling modules (rewrite, redirect, access)
# url.rewrite = ( "^/$" => "/server-status"
)
# url.redirect = ( "^/wishlist/(.+)" =>
"http://www.123.org/$1" )

This is your breakage, set it to something that matches the hostname, exists in /etc/hosts and resolves from whereever you are browsing from.

#### expire module
# expire.url = ( "/buggy/" => "access 2 hours",
"/asdhas/" => "access plus 1 seconds 2 minutes")

#### external configuration files
## mimetype mapping
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/create-mime.assign.pl"

## load enabled configuration files,
## read /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/README first
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/include-conf-enabled.pl"

## added later by goldtech

fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => ((
"bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi",
"socket" => "/tmp/php.socket"
)))

flv-streaming.extensions = ( ".flv" )

alias.url = ( "/phpmyadmin/” => “/usr/share/phpmyadmin/")
