First of all, GREAT site! Packed with useful information

I'm currently setting up my first web server, using lighttpd. I'm using "simple-vhost.conf" to handle domains, which looks like this (pretty standard):

Code:

server.modules += &#40; "mod_simple_vhost" &#41;
simple-vhost.server-root         = "/var/www/"
simple-vhost.document-root       = "pages"
simple-vhost.default-host        = "blah.se"
$HTTP&#91;"host"&#93; =~ "^www\.&#40;.*&#41;" &#123; url.redirect = &#40; "^/&#40;.*&#41;" => "http&#58;//%1/$1" &#41; &#125;

Would mod_evhost be better suited so that it would be easier to handle subdomains? Also, using this method, is it possible to have seperate log files, or I will have to write manual rules for every domain in that case?

Aah, this seems to work pretty nice for domain/subdomain handling using evhost, but there's still the part with the log files.. Any ideas?

Code:

$HTTP&#91;"host"&#93; =~ "^&#40;www\.&#41;?&#91;^.&#93;+\.&#91;^.&#93;+$" &#123;
  evhost.path-pattern = "/home/%0/www/"
&#125;

$HTTP&#91;"host"&#93; !~ "^&#40;www\.&#41;?&#91;^.&#93;+\.&#91;^.&#93;+$" &#123;
  evhost.path-pattern = "/home/%0/subdomains/%3/"
&#125;

Have you created /var/www/logs/ directory? See if you get logs there

Personally I am using something as follows (simple and easy to follow)

Code:

$HTTP&#91;"host"&#93; == "domain1.com" &#123;
  server.document-root = "/var/www/domain1.com"
  server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/domain1.com/error.log"
  accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd/domain1.com/access.log"
&#125;

$HTTP&#91;"host"&#93; == "domain2.com" &#123;
  server.document-root = "/var/www/domain2.com"
  server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/domain2.com/error.log"
  accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd/domain2.com/access.log"
&#125;

Yeah, I'm getting logs, but for all sites. Your solution doesn't automatically handle new domains, that's what I'm trying to achieve. Doesn't seem like Lighttpd handles this yet, there's a feature request in trac to extend support in mod_evhost.

Hello,

Yup I’m understanding your problem. Have u tried something say like (i don't think so it will work but just try out..)

Code:

server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/%0/error.log" 
accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd/%0/error.log"

Try out and lemme know

%0 is fillied by mod_evhost, so that won't work.

I recommend reading article - Flexible vhost lighty config which utilize some scripts ruby and shell to create configuration along with lighttpd vars.
