Use Mint on Lighttpd with Rails Caching
If you had to remove the line Rails needs for caching inorder to get Mint to work, heres the fix.url.rewrite = ( "/mint/?(.*)$" => "/mint/index.php?$1", "/mint/$" => "/mint/index.php", "/$" => "index.html", "([^.]+)$" => "$1.html" )
Rails and php on directories example of a lighttpd HOST conditional
$HTTP["host"] =~ "textdrive.(org|com)" {
server.indexfiles = ( "dispatch.fcgi", "index.php" )
server.document-root = "/users/home/website/web/public/"
url.redirect = ( "^/forum/(.*)" => "http://forum.textdrive.com/$1",
"^/support/(.*)" => "http://support.textdrive.com/$1" )
#url.rewrite = ( "^/$" => "index.html", "^([^.]+)$" => "$1.html" )
server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"
fastcgi.server = (
".fcgi" =>
( "localhost" =>
(
"socket" => "/tmp/textdrive-new.socket",
"bin-path" => "/users/home/website/web/public/dispatch.fcgi",

Daedalus Config to Keep Lighttpd Up Nicely
This daedalus config as well as my previous snippet is meant to supplement chapter 5 of "Lighttpd the painless way".This config is dependent on having a ~/lighttpd directory setup as described in that manual. Also, you must have the restart.rb script (again from my previous snippet) in the lighttpd folder.
As before, remember to swap out your USERNAME, DOMAIN, and PORT.
The first check here is that a lighttpd process is running. If not then it calls restart.rb which will kill any zombie dispatchers and restart lighttpd.
The second check is more of a departure from the original suggestion. Rather than checking that a specific file is generating the expected output, I go right to the source and verify that lighttpd is responding with an HTTP header on the port you were assigned. This is a pure indication of whether lighttpd is responsive on the correct port. It won't be fouled up by application errors or apache forwarding misconfiguration. More importantly, it won't generate a flood of restarts due to an unrelated code error.
Also, you will notice I set the checkinterval to 10 minutes. I felt this was a good compromise between keeping lighttpd up and saturating the server with unnecessary processing.

Killing rogue dispatch.fcgi processes and starting lighttpd on TextDrive
By using this script to start lighttpd you can be sure you won't be leaving rogues dispatchers around sucking up memory and generally pissing jason off. Don't get caught with your pants down!Make sure to change USERNAME below, as well as any paths that may be different in your case.
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
#Modified from Julik's original code posted to TextDrive forums.
pstab = `ps axww`
def kill_fcgi_proc(line)
its = line.strip.split(/\s+/)
pid = its[0]
puts "KILLING #{line}"
`kill -9 #{pid}`
sleep(3)
end
if pstab =~ /\/usr\/local\/sbin\/lighttpd -f/
puts "Lighttpd still running."
else
pstab.scan(/^.*dispatch\.fcgi\s*$/) do |line|
kill_fcgi_proc line
end
pstab = `ps axww`
if pstab =~ /dispatch\.fcgi/
puts "Error, rogue dispatch.fcgi's still pissing jason off."
else
puts "Rogue dispatch.fcgi's cleared, starting lighty!"
`/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /home/USERNAME/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf`
end

Add a New Rails App (Textdrive & Lighttpd)
Based on: http://forum.textdrive.com/viewtopic.php?id=5094Get Lighttpd working on Textdrive first (http://manuals.textdrive.com/read/book/9), then to add new Rails apps (ex: typo.domain.tld) follow the steps below...
1. ssh into your account
ssh [email protected]
2. Create a new directory for your rails apps (if you don't have one already):
mkdir ~/apps/ (or whatever you want to name it)
3. Move into that directory:
cd ~/apps/
4. svn checkout the app you want:
Example: svn checkout svn://leetsoft.com/typo/trunk typo
5. Move into that new app's directory:
Example: cd typo
6. Change the first line of appname/public/dispatch.rb and appname/public/dispatch.fcgi to:
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby18
7. Set-up MySQL database:
a.
mysql -u username -p
b.
create database textdriveusername_appname;
c.
exit;
d.
mysql -u username -p textdriveusername_appname < db/schema.mysql.sql
8. Create a symbolic link to your app's public folder, inside of your public_html folder:
ln -s /home/username/apps/appname/public /home/username/public_html/appname
9. Add an $HTTP["host"] entry into your lighttpd.conf for the new app (ex: http://textsnippets.com/posts/show/6 and http://textsnippets.com/posts/show/187)
10. Kill all your dispatch.fcgi processes and your lighttpd process (ex: ttp://textsnippets.com/posts/show/206)
11. Restart lighttpd:
/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /home/username/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
12. Navigate to http://appname.yourdomain.tld
