Cache not being created for static content

[Mystique]

lighttpd.conf:

server.username = "www"
server.groupname = "www"
compress.cache-dir = "/var/log/lighttpd/cache"
compress.filetype = ("text/css", "text/html", "text/javascript", "text/plain", "text/xml")
alias.url = ( "/webalizer/" => "/usr/local/www/webalizer/" )

*

mkdir -p /var/log/lighttpd/cache/ chown -R www:www /var/log/lighttpd

*

http://domain.com/webalizer/

*

(mod_compress.c.400) creating cachefile /var/cache//webalizer/usage_200508.htm-gzip-476821-169605-1124917563 failed No such file or directory

*

also someone setup via mod_userdir gets a simmilar error

Doing an mkdir /var/log/lighttpd/cache/\~username and setting proper ownership will allow cached files to be created successfully.

weigon says that it has to do w/ mod_alias and mod_userdir

I also encouter this on FreeBSD 6.0 Release with mod_userdir/alias and static content outside of user's dirs.

Perhaps weigon should elaborate ;-)

Nevertheless there should be a test.

Test requests for subdirectories as well as aliased URLs

Hi,

I'm getting this too in lighttpd on Ubuntu Edgy (1.4.13~r1370-1ubuntu1).

mod_compress cannot create dir with mod_userdir enabled.

This should be fixed soon.
