    Can you both please provide more information?
    j0t: can you paste the config?
    John Walker: can you paste the error you get?

    I'd love to provide debug, but disguising host names and IP address in the config in order to put it here in clear is way too painful :) Could you provide a more "private" channel for exchanging this information? I put my email address in this blog post, you can contact me there.

    Er... I meant blog comment :)

    Well you said it segfaults with a vanilla config from your distro too.
    Run gdb --args lighttpd -Df /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf, then "run" and when it crashes, type "bt full" into the gdb prompt.

    Here you are, decently formatted http://pastebin.com/m8ac2258

    j0t: there is no mod_fastcgi anymore, just remove the binary. (make clean may delete it too)

    By the way I still have the problem Chunked transffers in Opera in 1.4.22, the page keep reloading. I'm on freebsd. As workarround I have this "server.protocol-http11 = "disable"" witch works. Do you gonna do something about this ? Already migrated a server to nginx as I saw you do not pay too much attention to freebsd. And it seem like freebsd is the main platform where nginx's devs tests(listed first in the "Tested OS and platforms: " section on nginx.net).. I saw a bugfix for freebsd in the 1.4.22, thought I could remove the workarround but didn't have much luck (the bug is still there). By the way same behavior as for Opera (page refreshing) I have on my mobile phone with run on symbian. Thank you for your work. It seem like lighttpd need some more time to get mature, maybe you could add more automated testings I don't know.. Competition is a good thing.

    @stbuehler: oh my, I thought it was still necessary to load it for using PHP... thanks!

    Adrenalin: please use the bug tracker to report bugs, i couldn't see anything related to your problem there. And a trace of your connection would be very helpful. (So we can see if lighty sends incorrect data).
