[pkg-lighttpd] Bug#386568: lighttpd: Same problem here, with alias on localhost

[Vincent Bernat]

Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.18-1
Followup-For: Bug #386568

Hi !

I have the same problem here. Putting an alias has no effect when
using it from localhost :

 alias.url += ( "/test/" => "/var/tmp/test/" )
 
However, this works :

 $HTTP["remoteip"] == "127.0.0.1" {
  alias.url += ( "/test/" => "/var/tmp/test/" )
 }
 
I have no problem accessing the alias when using my machine name
instead of localhost to access the site.

I can also comment alias.url in lighttpd.conf:

 $HTTP["remoteip"] == "127.0.0.1" {
 #       alias.url += (
 #               "/doc/" => "/usr/share/doc/",
 #               "/images/" => "/usr/share/images/"
 #       )
         $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/doc/|^/images/" {
 	                dir-listing.activate = "enable"
         }
 }
				
My hostname is associated to an IP in /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost 
192.168.116.1   neo.luffy.cx neo

However, this hosts file works fine too:

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost neo

I still get access using http://neo... But http://localhost still
gives a 404.

Thanks.
