    Upgrading to this from 1.4.11, lighty now uses 90%+ cpu vs (most of the time) 1%. Using fcgi php 5.1.6 w/eaccelerator 0.9.5-rc1, and options "--with-fam --with-pcre=/usr/local/include --enable-ipv6 --with-openssl".

    Can you create a strace following the wiki (how to report a bug) and send it to me ?
  3. gslin Thu, 21 Sep 2006 01:33:05 GMT
    Is that Firefox or really Firefix ?
  4. Jan Kneschke Thu, 21 Sep 2006 06:55:10 GMT
    FireBox :) I fixed the typo.
  5. chuan Thu, 21 Sep 2006 17:20:12 GMT
    save as neuschnee, lighttpd use +95% of cpu. Using fcgi / php 4.4.4
  6. dangu Thu, 21 Sep 2006 20:30:16 GMT
    no mod_uploadprogress?
  7. Jan Kneschke Thu, 21 Sep 2006 21:40:44 GMT
    chuan, try r1332 pre-release. dangu, no that's in 1.5.0.

    I'm sorry to report that SSL connections are still super slow though lighty (r1332) doesn't consume 90%+ CPU any longer. This happens when redirecting an HTTP request to HTTPS. lighty r1303 works perfectly in this regard. Is there anything which might be useful (e.g. lighttpd.conf)? I'm using php5-cgi provided by dotdeb.org.
  9. Tobias Thu, 21 Sep 2006 22:33:11 GMT
    Correction: SSL mode in lighty r1303 only works perfectly with Safari and IE (at least in my case..)
  10. Jan Kneschke Sat, 23 Sep 2006 07:41:34 GMT
    Slow SSL connections are fixed now too, in r1335.
  11. Tobias Sat, 23 Sep 2006 12:18:33 GMT
    Thank you so much! Regarding SSL, this version seems to be working flawlessly.

    Jan, I'm also experiencing the same problem with 1.4.12 where lighty consumes over a lot of cpu power for no reason. It has caused me to revert back to version 1.4.11 for now.

    Michael: I need a strace to be able to track it down. Feel free to contact me on IRC or directly via mail to track it down.
  14. Michael Fri, 13 Oct 2006 07:03:45 GMT
    Done, I've made a strace. It is in the 1.4.13 deflected tickets. I hope it is fixed mate.
