This basicly means that sometimes small gems are hidden and unknown to most users.</p> <p>This time we want to put some focus on the new commandline options in lighttpd 1.4.0 and higher.</p> <pre> $ lighttpd -h lighttpd-1.4.1 (ssl) (Aug 23 2005 16:37:21) - a light and fast webserver usage: -f &lt;name&gt; filename of the config-file -p print the parsed config-file in internal form, and exit -t test the config-file, and exit -D don't go to background (default: go to background) -6 use IPv6 -v show version -h show this help </pre> <p>The new options are <code>-p</code> and <code>-t</code>. They will help you to check that is everything is ok, before you start lighttpd with the new configuration.</p> <pre> $ lighttpd -t -f ./lighttpd.conf Syntax OK </pre> <p>Especially if you start to use the the new features of lighttpd 1.4.0 like includes and expressions the print out of the parsed configuration will help you to see if everything really worked out as planed.</p> Wed, 24 Aug 2005 09:11:24 +0000 urn:uuid:acbbcb62949f5162c5fd5eefe8bb9be9 jan http://blog.lighttpd.net/articles/2005/08/24/lighttpd-unleashed-part-one lighttpd http://blog.lighttpd.net/articles/trackback/15 Unusual song!
