[Kimchi-devel] [HELP] Problems with lighttpd

[Ramon Medeiros]

Hi Team,

i'm trying to switch from nginx to lighttpd as kimchi proxy. I 
successfully create the proxy on port 8001, but the problem is the 
redirection from http to https.

To try this, do:

1) Install lighttpd

2) Start kimchi, kill nginx process

3) Run lighttpd with this configuration (save to /etc/kimchi/lighttpd.conf):

# Variables
var.log_root    = "/var/log/lighttpd"
var.server_root = "/var/www"
var.state_dir   = "/var/run"
var.home_dir    = "/var/lib/lighttpd"
var.conf_dir    = "/etc/lighttpd"
var.vhosts_dir  = server_root + "/vhosts"
var.cache_dir   = "/var/cache/lighttpd"
var.socket_dir  = home_dir + "/sockets"

# Server settings
server.username  = "lighttpd"
server.groupname = "lighttpd"
server.document-root = server_root + "/lighttpd"
server.pid-file = state_dir + "/lighttpd.pid"
server.errorlog = log_root + "/error.log"

# Server modules
server.modules = (
     "mod_proxy",
     "mod_redirect",
     "mod_accesslog",
)

# debug settings
debug.log-request-handling        = "enable"
debug.log-request-header          = "enable"
debug.log-request-header-on-error = "enable"
debug.log-response-header         = "enable"
debug.log-file-not-found          = "enable"
debug.log-condition-handling      = "enable"

# VIRTUAL HOSTS

# Main server
$SERVER["socket"] == ":8001" {
     server.port = 8001
     ssl.engine = "enable"
     ssl.pemfile = "/etc/kimchi/kimchi.pem"
  #   server.document-root = server_root + "/lighttpd"
     proxy.debug = 1
     proxy.server  = ( "" => ( ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 8010 )))
}

# redirect from http to https
$SERVER["socket"] == ":8000" {
     server.port = 8000
     server.document-root = server_root + "/lighttpd"

     $HTTP["host"] =~ "[^0-9:]*" {
         url.redirect = ("[^0-9:]*" => "https://%0:8001$0")
     }
}


4) Run with /usr/sbin/lighttpd -D -f /etc/kimchi/lighttpd.conf.

You will can access https://localhost:8001 with no problems, but, if you 
try to access localhost:8000, you will be redirect to 
https://127.0.0.1:8010.

I did not understand why this is happening. Can someone please take a look?
