lighttpd.net moved to new host

In case you havn’t noticed: lighttpd.net moved to a new home. After several years running on sponsored hardware, we now run on our “own” server. Now including IPv6.

The transition went very smoothly thanks to the wonderful team. If you notice some issues, please ping us on IRC.

BTW, all your donations get used to keep the domain and server running. Thanks to all that make this possible. hint More support is always welcome.

Going to mine

Ladies and Gentlemen, Spambots and Jackalopes, may we have your valuable attention please.

As you may have noticed, our trac was painfully slow most of the time and we missed some features that we would like to have. So we looked for alternatives and found Redmine

It took some effort to migrate everything from trac to it but now most of it is done.
Some wiki pages couldn’t be converted 1:1, so we ask you to fix the formatting issues if you come across any and know how to do so.

Redmine also allows us to get rid of the old forums that had serious spam problems in the past.

trac.lighttpd.net will be read-only from now on and forum.lighttpd.net will probably be gone for good or read-only too.

So, without further ado, we want to unveil our new project haven.

Hope you like it and thanks for using lighty.

spamfilter on the right track now

We had enabled spamfilter in trac.lighttpd.net long ago and it was doing fine blocking lots of spam messages, but I didn’t notice that it blocked some ham messages too by rasing “your ip is blacklisted by sc.surbl.org” error.

I appreciate your help when you try hard clicking the submit button for wiki/tickets and am sorry for blocking you.

I spent some time tweaking karma settings in trac spamfilter recently. It was a bit hard to get what karma is even by asking the ppl in #trac, until i read the source. Anyway, it looks better now, and we’ll keep watching the monitor and see if there’s something mis-blocked, and tweak the settings accordingly. You may also register and login to get pass the spam checking.

You provided feedback. We listened.

Thanks.

lighttpd.net runs on 1.5.0

All the lighttpd.net domains (blog, trac, www, xcache, upload, …) are now running lighttpd 1.5.0-trunk. It took some debugging to sort out problems with the way trac wants to handle PATH_INFO r1841 and how ruby handles fastcgi-keepalive requests via Unix-Sockets r1850 + r1849.

In case you see that one of the sites is down, ping me (weigon) on IRC. The server is running in valgrind and should provide enough information to fix the problem.

forum is on the new host

The forum just got migrated to the new lighty-server. As long as the DNS is not update and as fallback, the old lighty server is proxying to the new host.

As a side-effect, registering a account in the forum works again. The trac on the new host also sends out notifications on ticket updates again.
