mod_flv_streaming does not work with mod_alias

[matt@…]

It seems mod_flv_streaming does not work when the requested file is resolved through an alias. Lighttpd still serves the file, but it serves the complete file, and not a partial file, which is expected when providing the start URL parameter. Here is a non-working configuration:

---

var.APP_PATH = CWD var.media_dir = APP_PATH + "/../media/" var.error_file = APP_PATH + "/error.log"

server.document-root = APP_PATH server.errorlog = error_file

server.port = 3000

server.modules = (

"mod_flv_streaming", "mod_rewrite", "mod_alias"

) flv-streaming.extensions = ( ".flv" ) mimetype.assign = (

".html" => "text/html", ".txt" => "text/plain", ".jpg" => "image/jpeg", ".png" => "image/png"

) index-file.names = ( "index.html" ) alias.url = ( "/media/" => media_dir )

---

If the physical media directory is moved within the document-root and alias.url line is removed, FLV streaming works as expected.

Apparently, mod_flv_streaming does not work also when file is resolved through mod_userdir. Moving the file somewhere under document-root as suggested above solved the problem (no need to disable mod_alias or mod_userdir).

Sorry, it appears that the mod_flv_streaming and mod_userdir bad interaction is just a matter of the order in which modules are loaded: if mod_userdir comes before mod_flv_streaming in the server.modules list, then everything works as expected (on 1.4.15)
