[Seaside] Problem with serving static files on seaside 3.0 and lighttpd

[Nick Ager]

Hi,

It's a while since I experimented with lighttpd; I believe the following
worked for me:

$HTTP["url"] !~ "^/resources/" {
#  fastcgi.debug=1
 fastcgi.server = ("/" =>(
   ("host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 9001, "check-local" => "disable"),
   ("host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 9002, "check-local" => "disable"),
   ("host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 9003, "check-local" => "disable")
  )
 )
}

which would pass the request onto Gemstone unless the request began
with '^/resources/'
and add something similar to the below to your lighttpd configuration
server.document-root  = "/var/www/"
HTH
