Hi, all, I just got vlc-shares running on Lighttpd on Debian Stable, and thought I’d share.

It’s just a quick workaround to handle the fact that lighttpd doesn’t read apache .htaccess files.

alias.url += ( “/vlc” => “/var/www/vlcshares/public” )
$HTTP[“url”] =~ “^/vlc/” {
server.error-handler-404 = “/vlc/index.php”
}

That’ll put vlcshare in http://hostname/vlc

If you want to password protect the web app:

auth.require = (
“/vlc” => ( “method” => “basic”, “realm” => “vlc-shares”, “require” => “valid-user”)
)

I won’t go into how to set up HTTP auth in Lighty, that’s well documented.
