Question

I’m cross compiling lighttpd for use on an arm system. I’m setup with an NFS system, whose root directory is located at /home/user/targetfs. I’m able to set up the server to run perfectly fine. The problem that I have is that my modules are trying to be found in the incorrect directory.

./configure --host=${TARGET_SYS} --disable-short-tags --without-mysql --without-pear --disable-all --disable-short-tags --without-pcre --without-zlib --without-bzip2

The error message that I am running into is the following:

2012-04-29 23:14:07: (plugin.c.169) dlopen() failed for: /home/user/targetfs/lib/mod_indexfile.so /home/user/targetfs/lib/mod_indexfile.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory                                           
2012-04-29 23:14:07: (server.c.676) loading plugins finally failed 

I know the cheap workaround is to just copy the mod files to where it says that it is looking for them at. Is there a way that I can change a configure option in order to point lighttpd to look in /lib for the mods?

Answer 1

I created a temporary workaround that just uses the following:

lighttpd -m /lib -f /var/www/lighttpd.conf
