Re: Lua + cgilua + lightttpd

One solution that I found was use simple cgi configuration on lighttpd.

No cgilua, no fastcgi, no dependencies, just enabled cgi module in lighttpd and added:

cgi.assign = (

".lua" => "/usr/bin/lua",

)

But I've been read that cgi is too slow, and FastCGI is better.

"Pure cgi" is too bad to use? I think so simple and fast to configure that I'm thinking use this approach to start my web application.

Any suggestions?

Hello World!

I'm trying to configure a webserver to use Lua to create web applications.
I use lighttpd as my default webserver to run static websites and PHP blogs, so, my obvious choice was lighttpd.

Searching in Google and in this list history, I see that would be easy to configure, in fast steps, that I follow:

- Install cgilua with luarocks
- Install wsapi and wsapi-fcgi with luarocks as dependence

- Configure few lines in lighttpd.conf
- Restart lighttpd

When I did this, lighttpd stop to serve my websites.
Then I run cgilua.fcgi in terminal, and always I receive this error message:

WSAPI error in application: /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/wsapi/common.lua:408: could not find a filename to load, check your configuration or URL

Anybody can help me? What I'm doing wrong?

Thank you
