413 – request entity too large in lighthttpd

I just setup up drupal on my webserver , just for you ;) Here is an example config-snippet with vhost:

$HTTP["host"] =~ "drupal\.mysite\.com$" {
        server.document-root = "/var/www/drupal/"
        url.rewrite-final = (
                "^/system/test/(.*)$" => "/index.php?q=system/test/$1",
                "^/([^.?]*)\?(.*)$" => "/index.php?q=$1&$2",
                "^/([^.?]*)$" => "/index.php?q=$1",
                "^/rss.xml" => "/index.php?q=rss.xml"
        )
}

That works (i can enable Clean URLs in drupal and it seems to work), i don't know how your config looks actually, but maybe first try to adapt my one. You have to put this at the end of your lighttpd.conf The LUA stuff should also work, all roads lead to Rome ;) But I think it's better to keep it simple and not to enable so much modules. I'm sure you'll need the rewrite module more than magnet in the future.

So it looks to me like what I want to do is impossible, or at least not provided for under FCGI. When you invoke www.mydomain.com/thing1.fcgi, you're not starting thing1.fcgi; that has already been done. What you're doing is sending a request to the infinitely-running FCGI process that you write, which almost certainly has a infinite loop right at the heart of it, waiting for requests. This is just the nature of FCGI, and a major distinction from the earlier CGI.

Not a hard question to answer, once you understand how FCGI works. I guess I was just wishing.
