## Some Variable definition which will make chrooting easier.
##
## if you add a variable here. Add the corresponding variable in the
## chroot example aswell.
##
var.log_root    = "/var/log/lighttpd"
var.server_root = "/srv/www"
var.state_dir   = "/var/run"
var.home_dir    = "/var/lib/lighttpd"
var.conf_dir    = "/etc/lighttpd"

## 
## run the server chrooted.
## 
## This requires root permissions during startup.
##
## If you run Chrooted set the the variables to directories relative to
## the chroot dir.
##
## example chroot configuration:
## 
#var.log_root    = "/logs"
#var.server_root = "/"
#var.state_dir   = "/run"
#var.home_dir    = "/lib/lighttpd"
#var.vhosts_dir  = "/vhosts"
#var.conf_dir    = "/etc"
#
#server.chroot   = "/srv/www"

##
## Some additional variables to make the configuration easier
##

##
## Base directory for all virtual hosts
##
## used in:
## conf.d/evhost.conf
## conf.d/simple_vhost.conf
## vhosts.d/vhosts.template
##
var.vhosts_dir  = server_root + "/vhosts"

##
## Cache for mod_compress
##
## used in:
## conf.d/compress.conf
##
var.cache_dir   = "/var/cache/lighttpd"

##
## Base directory for sockets.

## used in:

##  Basic Configuration
## ---------------------
##
server.port = 80

##
## Use IPv6?
##
server.use-ipv6 = "enable"

##
## bind to a specific IP
##
#server.bind = "localhost"

##
## Run as a different username/groupname.
## This requires root permissions during startup. 
##
server.username  = "lighttpd"
server.groupname = "lighttpd"

## 
## enable core files.
##
#server.core-files = "disable"

##
## Document root
##
server.document-root = server_root + "/htdocs"

##
## The value for the "Server:" response field.
##
## It would be nice to keep it at "lighttpd".
##
#server.tag = "lighttpd"

##  Logging Options
## ------------------
##
## all logging options can be overwritten per vhost.
##
## Path to the error log file
##
server.errorlog             = log_root + "/error.log"

##
## If you want to log to syslog you have to unset the 
## server.errorlog setting and uncomment the next line.
##
#server.errorlog-use-syslog = "enable"

##
## Access log config
## 
include "conf.d/access_log.conf"

##
## The debug options are moved into their own file.
## see conf.d/debug.conf for various options for request debugging.

##  Tuning/Performance
## --------------------
##
## corresponding documentation:
## http://www.lighttpd.net/documentation/performance.html
##
## set the event-handler (read the performance section in the manual)
##
## possible options on linux are:
##
## select
## poll
## linux-sysepoll
##
## linux-sysepoll is recommended on kernel 2.6.
##
server.event-handler = "linux-sysepoll"

##
## The basic network interface for all platforms at the syscalls read()
## and write(). Every modern OS provides its own syscall to help network
## servers transfer files as fast as possible 
##
## linux-sendfile - is recommended for small files.
## writev         - is recommended for sending many large files
##
server.network-backend = "linux-sendfile"

##
## As lighttpd is a single-threaded server, its main resource limit is
## the number of file descriptors, which is set to 1024 by default (on
## most systems).
##
## If you are running a high-traffic site you might want to increase this
## limit by setting server.max-fds.
##
## Changing this setting requires root permissions on startup. see
## server.username/server.groupname.
##
## By default lighttpd would not change the operation system default.
## But setting it to 2048 is a better default for busy servers.
##
server.max-fds = 2048

##
## Stat() call caching.
##
## lighttpd can utilize FAM/Gamin to cache stat call.
##
## possible values are:
## disable, simple or fam.
##
server.stat-cache-engine = "simple"

##
## Fine tuning for the request handling
##
## max-connections == max-fds/2 (maybe /3)
## means the other file handles are used for fastcgi/files
##
server.max-connections = 1024

##
## How many seconds to keep a keep-alive connection open,
## until we consider it idle. 
##
## Default: 5
##
#server.max-keep-alive-idle = 5

##
## How many keep-alive requests until closing the connection.
##
## Default: 16
##
#server.max-keep-alive-requests = 16

##
## Maximum size of a request in kilobytes.
## By default it is unlimited (0).
##
## Uploads to your server cant be larger than this value.
##
#server.max-request-size = 0

##
## Time to read from a socket before we consider it idle.
##
## Default: 60
##
#server.max-read-idle = 60

##
## Time to write to a socket before we consider it idle.
##
## Default: 360
##
#server.max-write-idle = 360

##
##  Traffic Shaping 
## -----------------
##
## see /usr/share/doc/lighttpd/traffic-shaping.txt
##
## Values are in kilobyte per second.
##
## Keep in mind that a limit below 32kB/s might actually limit the
## traffic to 32kB/s. This is caused by the size of the TCP send
## buffer. 
##
## per server:
##
#server.kbytes-per-second = 128

##
## per connection:
##
#connection.kbytes-per-second = 32

##  SSL Support
## ------------- 
##
## To enable SSL for the whole server you have to provide a valid
## certificate and have to enable the SSL engine.::
##
##   ssl.engine = "enable"
##   ssl.pemfile = "/path/to/server.pem"
##
## The HTTPS protocol does not allow you to use name-based virtual
## hosting with SSL. If you want to run multiple SSL servers with
## one lighttpd instance you must use IP-based virtual hosting: ::
##
## Mitigate CVE-2009-3555 by disabling client triggered renegotation
## This is enabled by default.
##
## IMPORTANT: this setting can only be used in the global scope.
## It does *not* work inside conditionals
##
#   ssl.disable-client-renegotiation = "enable"

##     #
##     # Make the server prefer the order of the server side cipher suite instead of the client suite.
##     # This is necessary to mitigate the BEAST attack (unless you disable all non RC4 algorithms).
##     # This option is enabled by default, but only used if ssl.cipher-list is set.
