@Denbert
You needed to install the lighttpd-mod-magnet package in order to enable mod_magnet.

@Sudhacker
I used the mod_rewrite way and it make a mess on the index files when using subdirectories.
I’ve been trying to use the mod_magnet you wrote on a site.org/user/blog, but i only get 404 error :-/

Here is how i have done it: http://switnet.dyndns.org/ark/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Varios/Wordpress-URL

Thanks for your interesting post.
Unfortunately, it seems there is a problem with openvz kernels, preventing this to work.

Comment on Store Warranty on Golf Equipments by Payday Loans

Great Story! You should never buy the warranty on such equipment. The company will always honor thier equipment regardless. One way or another you will be taken care of. I had the same thing happen to me with some Cobra equipment years ago and had no problems getting it exchanged.

I managed to configure squirrelmail 1.4.16 on fedora 9 using these settings, although I made the edits using the config/conf.pl utility.

I did a performance comparison between mod_magnet and mad_rewrite based solution. Results are posted at following URL

http://sudhaker.com/web-development/lighttpd-modules-compared-mod_magnet-and-mod_rewrite.html

According to my basic testing results, mod_rewrite is slightly better performing than mod_magnet.

FYI: I’ll continue using rewrite.lua because performance hit is not significant and it provides more reliable and consistent solution.

Cheers,

Hi Sudhaker,

While your solution results in correct behavior, its use of mod_magent may result in performance hit and, i believe is an overkill.

See my reply to your comment in my post

I just set this up and it is the only 100% perfectly working setup that I have seen. Alot of mod_rewrite setups get close but interfere with other folders not related to wordpress. This one allows my phpmyadmin install to co-exist and does proper rewrites. Thanks!

The solution that you have posted for the subdirectory works fine, dude. I have tried it and using it on my Wordpress installation. It really helped me with my migration from Apache to Lighttpd. Thanks a ton!

Comment on Java Easy MD5 by Sudhaker

In case you need stronger hash,

import java.security.MessageDigest;
 
/**
 * @author Sudhaker Raj
 */
public class HashUtil {
 
  private static final String ALGORITHM = "SHA-256";
  /**
   * @param value
   * @return
   */
  public static String encode(String value) {
    StringBuffer encoded = new StringBuffer();
    if (value != null) {
      try {
        MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance(ALGORITHM);
        md.update(value.getBytes());
        byte[] digest = md.digest();
        for (int i = 0; i < digest.length; ++i) {
          int b = (int) digest[i] & 0xFF;
          if (b < 16)
            encoded.append("0");
          encoded.append(Integer.toHexString(b));
        }
      } catch (Exception e) {
        // ignore exceptions
      }
    }
    return encoded.toString();
  }
}
