John,
Here is what I have placed in the file /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
$
fastcgi.server = (
"/handler_web2py.fcgi" => (
"handler_web2py" => ( #name for logs
"check-local" => "disable",
"socket" => "/tmp/fcgi.sock",
)
)
)
$HTTP["host"] == "100.101.102.103" {
server.document-root="/home/james/web2py"
url.rewrite-once = (
"^(/.+?/static/.+)$" => "/applications$1",
"(^|/.*)$" => "/handler_web2py.fcgi$1",
)
}
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
