PRE-RELEASE: lighttpd-1.5.0-r1811.tar.gz 22

Posted by jan Fri, 20 Apr 2007 13:49:00 GMT

... or eating our’s own dog food.

We are now running lighttpd 1.5.0-r1811 at lighttpd.net next to the lighttpd-1.4.13 [official debian] package.

This is one way to say that this is a Release Candidate and that we want to expose it to more testers out there. Update: lighttpd.net is running on 1.5.0-trunk/

As working demo you have:

Yes, that’s mod_uploadprogress in action :)

    Hi Jan, I'm now using FreeBSD 6.2 to compile lighttpd-1.5.0-r1811. But it shows the following error message: network_gthread_aio.c:168:2: #error hmm, does your system support mmap(/dev/zero) or mmap(MAP_ANON) network_gthread_aio.c: In function `network_gthread_aio_read_thread': network_gthread_aio.c:101: warning: unused variable `mmap_fd'

    How do patches work?

    I notice 1.5 only has 6 more defects to fix until it's released, though I notice 1.4.16 still has 18 more bug fixes until it's released.

    I would assume those 18 defect in the 1.4.x branch also affect the 1.5 branch.

    So will 1.5 be release when all 24 (6 from 1.5 and 18 from 1.4.16) are patched or just when the remain 6 are fixed?

    Travis, you might need to differ there a bit more. In 1.4.x, there are some components which don't exist in 1.5.0 any more, so some of those bugs might be gone. There may be other cases in which 1.4.x-bugs don't affect 1.5.0 at all. I guess quite some passages may already be fixed/rewritten/whatever in 1.5.0, but not properly fixed in the 1.4-branch.

    Not all issues are bugs. Some are enhancement which might be pushed to later releases. The assignment to a milestone is not fixed, but it should give you an idea how much time there is to wait until the next release.

    At last we have working beta! Thanks! Where can I find what bugs have been already found? Or it's too early to speak about? :)
  6. Travis Fri, 20 Apr 2007 20:55:27 GMT
    I've very excited about 1.5 :)
  7. smiley Fri, 20 Apr 2007 22:21:13 GMT
    the upload progress example made me jump :) finally, thanks! where do i donate?
  8. feuvan Sat, 21 Apr 2007 14:29:42 GMT
    wow, I'll try the r1811 immediately! it's cool to see mod_uploadprogress back again.

    Hi Jan, I found another bug. When I use alias.url to alias a directory, it works but failed to find any index file defined in index-file.names.

    Why isnt there a ChangeLog or Changes included in this version. I am using previous beta with very good results, but after upgrading lighttpd doesnt want to start. Giving me "Configuration contains deprecated keys. Going down" errors, now I have to strip my config file to find what is deprecated in this version..
  11. laap Sun, 22 Apr 2007 16:31:19 GMT
    Ok found it ;) proxy-core.check-local is deprecated. I removed it in the config and everything seems to work. Btw: I have been using the previous 4 beta's with mod_uploadprogress on a website with 30000 unique users/day. Works just great...
  12. Marko Tue, 24 Apr 2007 14:40:34 GMT
    This look good but can you create something like mod_uploadprogress for 1.4.15 because in this moment I can`t use 1.5 and also I can`t get upload progress for 1.4.15 and that is very bad! Thanks.
  13. Alex Fri, 27 Apr 2007 12:52:52 GMT
    Greate 1.5! Greate mod_uploadprogress! I will test it in my new project. Thanks!
  14. Jan Kneschke Fri, 27 Apr 2007 17:08:48 GMT
    $PHYSICAL["existing-path"] =~ "\.php$" { ... } instead of $HTTP["url"] ... fixes the problem of check-local = 1. This is documented in the wiki. Sorry, for not adding it to the changelog.
  15. Sean Sun, 29 Apr 2007 08:24:55 GMT
    Trying the AJP module: server.modules += ("mod_proxy_core","mod_proxy_backend_ajp13") $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/do/|.jsp$" { proxy-core.balancer = "round-robin" proxy-core.protocol = "ajp13" proxy-core.backends = ( "localhost:8009" ) proxy-core.max-pool-size = 100 } It seems that the server will halt after running for a while. Here is the last line of error log: mod_proxy_core.c.2464: (trace) connect(127.0.0.1:8009) timed out, closing backend connection Then I shut lighttpd and restart Apache, everything works. Any suggestion?

    i am testing mod_uploadprogress. it works if i have a static html. e.g. /upload.html?323123213 (323123213 is the uuid that gets posted) but if i have the same page served from a cgi e.g. /main.cgi?upload?323123213 it gets stuck. i reckon it's the uuid parsing error. any pointers how i could fix this? thanks.

    I built some RPMs from the above sources, for RHEL/CentOS 4 and 5. Read about it, and grab the binaries and sources here: http://www.kevinworthington.com:8181/index.php/2007/05/02/lighttpd-150-r1811-rpms-for-rhel-and-centos-4-and-5/
  18. bit off topic but? Sun, 06 May 2007 01:21:04 GMT
    Just wondering if you would consider releasing lighttpd with a bsd license so that apache could be ripped from openbsd and replaced with lighty
  19. Jan Kneschke Mon, 07 May 2007 10:09:46 GMT
    lighttpd is BSD licensed.
  20. Marble Mon, 07 May 2007 13:33:04 GMT
    After RC no new updates :(. I hope you will release stable version this month
  21. tim Mon, 07 May 2007 20:46:42 GMT
    I've been toying with the r1811 and mod_uploadprogress in a rails app I'm working on and for some reason the GET to /progress causes lighty to just die... Any ideas or pointers as to how I can determine the reason? I am on a Mac with OS X 10.4.9 PPC if that helps or matters...

    tim, 1.5 on OSX seems to be a bit unstable atm.
