Lighttpd support¶
Note
Lighttpd support is experimental.
The uwsgi handler for Lighttpd lives in the /lighttpd directory of the uWSGI distribution.
Building the module¶
First download the source of lighttpd and uncompress it. Copy the lighttpd/mod_uwsgi.c file from the uWSGI distribution into Lighttpd’s /src directory. Add the following to the lighttpd src/Makefile.am file, after the accesslog block:
lib_LTLIBRARIES += mod_uwsgi.la
mod_uwsgi_la_SOURCES = mod_uwsgi.c
mod_uwsgi_la_LDFLAGS = -module -export-dynamic -avoid-version -no-undefined
mod_uwsgi_la_LIBADD = $(common_libadd)
Then launch
autoreconf -fi
and as usual,
./configure && make && make install
Configuring Lighttpd¶
Modify your configuration file:
server.modules = (
...
"mod_uwsgi",
...
)
# ...
uwsgi.server = (
"/pippo" => (( "host" => "192.168.173.15", "port" => 3033 )),
"/" => (( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 3031 )),
)
If you specify multiple hosts under the same virtual path/URI, load balancing will be activated with the “Fair” algorithm.
