Strange behavior with lighttpd

I got this strange problem with my Rails app here in lighttpd… sometimes it appears and sometimes it doesn’t. When it does appear, and I try to refresh it from Firefox, it won’t appear until I clear my cache.

Huh?

lighttpd_error.log says “(response.c.467) Path: /services/httpd/mysite.com/www/public/dispatch.fcgi – file found” which is strange, because the file is there, and if it was a permission problem it probably wouldn’t display at all.

Here is my configuration:

server.modules = ( “mod_access”, “mod_accesslog”, “mod_rewrite”, “mod_redirect”, “mod_fastcgi” ) server.document-root = “/usr/local/www” server.errorlog = “/var/log/lighttpd_error.log”

debug.log-request-handling = “enable”

index-file.names = ( “index.html” )

mimetype.assign = ( “.pdf” => “application/pdf”, “.sig” => “application/pgp-signature”, “.spl” => “application/futuresplash”, “.class” => “application/octet-stream”, “.ps” => “application/postscript”, “.torrent” => “application/x-bittorrent”, “.dvi” => “application/x-dvi”, “.gz” => “application/x-gzip”, “.pac” => “application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig”, “.swf” => “application/x-shockwave-flash”, “.tar.gz” => “application/x-tgz”, “.tgz” => “application/x-tgz”, “.tar” => “application/x-tar”, “.zip” => “application/zip”, “.mp3” => “audio/mpeg”, “.m3u” => “audio/x-mpegurl”, “.wma” => “audio/x-ms-wma”, “.wax” => “audio/x-ms-wax”, “.ogg” => “application/ogg”, “.wav” => “audio/x-wav”, “.gif” => “image/gif”, “.jpg” => “image/jpeg”, “.jpeg” => “image/jpeg”, “.png” => “image/png”, “.xbm” => “image/x-xbitmap”, “.xpm” => “image/x-xpixmap”, “.xwd” => “image/x-xwindowdump”, “.css” => “text/css”, “.html” => “text/html”, “.htm” => “text/html”, “.js” => “text/javascript”, “.asc” => “text/plain”, “.c” => “text/plain”, “.cpp” => “text/plain”, “.log” => “text/plain”, “.conf” => “text/plain”, “.text” => “text/plain”, “.txt” => “text/plain”, “.dtd” => “text/xml”, “.xml” => “text/xml”, “.mpeg” => “video/mpeg”, “.mpg” => “video/mpeg”, “.mov” => “video/quicktime”, “.qt” => “video/quicktime”, “.avi” => “video/x-msvideo”, “.asf” => “video/x-ms-asf”, “.asx” => “video/x-ms-asf”, “.wmv” => “video/x-ms-wmv”, “.bz2” => “application/x-bzip”, “.tbz” => “application/x-bzip-compressed-tar”, “.tar.bz2” => “application/x-bzip-compressed-tar” )

url.access-deny = ( “~”, “.inc” )

$HTTP[“url”] =~ “.pdf$” { server.range-requests = “disable” }

server.error-handler-404 = “/error-handler.html”

server.pid-file = “/var/run/lighttpd.pid”

$HTTP[“host”] =~ “.mysite.com” {

server.document-root = "/services/httpd/mysite.com/www/public"
accesslog.filename = "/services/httpd/mysite.com/logs/access.log"
fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" => ( "mysite" => ("socket" => "/services/httpd/mysite.com/www/mysite.socket", "bin-path" => "/services/httpd/mysite.com/www/public/dispatch.fcgi")))
server.indexfiles = ( "index.html" )
server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"

}

Thanks.
