#28546 new defect

lighttpd @1.4.28 - default config uses a network backend that isn't available on OS X

Reported by: kalle@… Owned by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Priority: Low Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: Cc: jacobu@…
Port: lighttpd

Description

The default config file for lighttpd has the setting server.network-backend set to linux-sendfile. This option is obviously not available on MacOS X, so if you try to start lighttpd and miss that option it'll error out with an error message like this:

2011-02-25 14:45:52: (network.c.652) server.network-backend has a unknown value: linux-sendfile.

I'm not sure what an appropriate default would be (I set it to writev), but perhaps it doesn't matter since the installation tells you to change the config so it suits you anyway. Still, I think it's sort of odd that it doesn't even start with the default configuration, and it's not exactly a complex fix.
