    February 12th, 2007 at 11:56 AM The downloadable source doesn't compile on Mac OS X. SVN trunk works though. You should really make the instructions for SVN more accessible.

    February 15th, 2007 at 11:41 AM There is a lot of references to mod_deflate - however I only see mod_compress. Are they the same ?

    February 17th, 2007 at 05:38 AM The package doesn't seem to include mod_cgi. Where can I get mod_cgi.so compiled for lighttpd in linux?

    February 18th, 2007 at 07:46 PM It compiles without problem but doesn't seem work with cgi/fastcgi enabled. When I run, get the following error: (plugin.c.255) dlopen() failed for: /usr/local/lib/mod_fastcgi.so /usr/local/lib/mod_fastcgi.so: undefined symbol: http_chunk_append_mem 2007-02-18 20:45:07: (server.c.1119) loading plugins finally failed or 2007-02-18 21:44:37: (plugin.c.255) dlopen() failed for: /usr/local/lib/mod_cgi.so /usr/local/lib/mod_cgi.so: undefined symbol: http_chunk_append_mem depending on configuration settings.

    February 24th, 2007 at 11:49 AM Compiles on gentoo, but still the same problem, that index files are not passed to proxy core. As the pcre check of proxy core is processed before mod_index_file changes the real path. No matter of the module list order.
