Lighttpd can not start when including mod_rewrite

  • 772

Here is my server modules list (modules.conf), its working without any problems, and lighttpd is running correctly while using this list:

server.modules = (
  "mod_access",
#  "mod_alias",
#  "mod_auth",
#  "mod_evasive",
#  "mod_redirect",
#  "mod_rewrite",
#  "mod_setenv",
#  "mod_usertrack",
)

The problem appears, when I want to uncomment the mod_rewrite module:

server.modules = (
  "mod_access",
#  "mod_alias",
#  "mod_auth",
#  "mod_evasive",
#  "mod_redirect",
   "mod_rewrite",
#  "mod_setenv",
#  "mod_usertrack",
)

Then I'm getting the following message, when I want to run my web server:

2012-05-01 15:01:18: (plugin.c.169) dlopen() failed for: /usr/local/lib/lighttpd/mod_indexfile, mod_access.so Cannot open "/usr/local/lib/lighttpd/mod_indexfile, mod_access.so"

2012-05-01 15:01:18: (server.c.656) loading plugins finally failed /usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd: WARNING: failed to start lighttpd

As you can see, it does have some problems with the mod_access module, but its strange a little bit, especially when I comment back the mod_rewrite module then its working.

Where is the problem?

web-server freebsd lighttpd mod-rewrite

    $HTTP["host"] =~ "(^|\.)mywebsite\.com$" {
    server.modules += ( "mod_rewrite" )

    That's the problem. Don't modify server.modules within a conditional block. See here.
