PLEASE NOTE: Native Lighttpd Windows builds are available at en.wlmp-project.net/
The last available Lighttpd for Windows build that I created using Cygwin was Lighttpd for Windows 1.4.17. Updated September 29, 2009.
Now available for download: Binary and Source RPMs for the 1.5 pre-release Lighttpd-1.5.0-r1992. Choose the correct RPMs for your distribution by viewing the README.txt. Note that this is a test release I am providing for you to try as the Lighttpd team moves closer to the actual 1.5.0 release. Please report bugs to: http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/newticket. (Discontinued Link)
Lighttpd blog announcement is here.
Create a file called error-handler.html in the root directory of the server (the one you refer to as ‘/’) and make an entry in your lighttpd.conf file:
## error-handler for status 404
server.error-handler-404 = “/error-handler.html”
Advanced options:
If you use a particular scrpting language on your site (php, perl, cgi, fast-cgi, etc.) you can name your error-handler with the appropriate file extension:
## error-handler for status 404
#server.error-handler-404 = “/error-handler.html”
#server.error-handler-404 = “/error-handler.php”
#server.error-handler-404 = “/error-handler.pl”
#server.error-handler-404 = “/error-handler.cgi”
#server.error-handler-404 = “/error-handler.fcgi”
Tip: Copy the entire block above into your lighttpd.conf and uncomment the one appropriate line by removing the leading “#” symbol.
After making all your changes, restart lighttpd and test your new error handler by visiting an incorrect URL.
