Example /etc/lighttpd.conf For PHP
$HTTP["host"] == “www.<example>.com” {
   server.document-root = “/www/sites/<example>.com/www/”
   index-file.names = ( “index.php” )

         ”socket” => “/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket”,
         ”bin-path” => “/usr/local/bin/php-fcgi”
      )
   )
)
}

Example /etc/lighttpd.conf For Ruby on Rails
$HTTP["host"] == “www.<example>.com” {
   server.indexfiles = ( “index.html” )
   server.error-handler-404 = “/dispatch.fcgi”
   server.document-root = “/Rails/public”

         ”bin-path” => “/Rails/public/dispatch.fcgi”,
         ”bin-environment” => ( “RAILS_ENV” => “production” )
      )
   ))
}

Start Daemon on Server Startup, Add to rc.local
if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd ] ; then
  echo ‘Lighttp’
  /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd.conf

Quick Way to Backup a MySQL Databse
mysqldump —opt —user <username> —password="<password>" "<database>" > <output>.dmp

Stop VM Servers
/etc/init.d/vmware stop

Install VMWare Package
rpm -Uhv /tmp/VMware-server-<version>.i386.rpm

Run Installation Script
vmware-config.pl

Direct all clean traffic using an exact match on the host.

$HTTP["host"] == “www.<example>.com” {
   server.document-root = “/www/sites/<example>.com/www/”
}

Trap all traffic not directed to the main site (regex non-match), then filter remaining traffic headed to the correct domain with the wrong host (regex) and redirect to the main site.

$HTTP["host"] !~ “^(www|mail)\.(<example>\.com)$” {
   $HTTP["host"] =~ “(^|.*\.)<example>\.com” {
      url.redirect = ( “^/(.*)” => “http://www.<example>.com/” )
   }
}

This is an effective defensive technique to guard against redundant content bombing in which a competitor submits URLs containing different hosts with the same domain to search engines making it appear as if the target site has several pages of identical content

Download, Compile And Install Package
lynx -source “http://download.pureftpd.org/OpenBSD/misc/ports/php5.1-with-fastcgi-openbsd-4.0.tar.gz” > /tmp/php5.1-with-fastcgi-openbsd-4.0.tar.gz

Unfortunately, as of OpenBSD 4.0 there isn’t a standard package for PHP with FastCGI support.

cd /tmp
tar xzf /tmp/php5.1-with-fastcgi-openbsd-4.0.tar.gz
cd /tmp/php5 && make install clean

…wait a long, long time…
