Lighttpd: specify two http hosts with same document root?

  • 772

What is the best or proper way to specify two http hosts with the same document root on Lighttpd? For example, to serve a domain at example.org and www.example.org.

Given the following in the lighttpd.conf for one host:

$HTTP["host"] == "www.example.org" {
  server.document-root = "/path/to/root/example" 
}

Is this a valid configuration for two hosts?

$HTTP["host"] == ( "example2.org", "www.example2.org" ) {
  server.document-root = "/path/to/root/example2" 
}

Or do you have have to duplicate/repeat the $HTTP["host"] field for each?

    No, this does not appear to work when testing the configuration file with:

    # lighttpd -t -f lighttpd.conf

    I guess each $HTTP["host"] field has to be separate, with the server.document-root repeated if you want different sub-domains to serve the same site data.
