Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.18-1
Severity: normal
If my config file looks thus:
fastcgi.server = (
"/urlroot/" => (
(
"host" => "192.168.42.3",
"port" => 12346,
"check-local" => "disable",
)
)
)
then all works correctly.
If instead, I change that to
"host" => "nim.leo",
where local name resolution resolves it
# getent hosts nim.leo
192.168.42.3 nim.leo nim
It simply serves "503 Service Not Available" errors.
It prints in the log:
2008-01-21 23:02:19: (mod_fastcgi.c.1709) converting IP address failed for
nim.leo
Be sure to specify an IP address here
Furthermore, watching lightty on strace reveals:
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 8
fcntl64(8, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
fcntl64(8, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0
stat64("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3661, ...}) = 0
stat64("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3661, ...}) = 0
write(5, "2008-01-21 23:02:19: (mod_fastcg"..., 123) = 123
getsockname(7, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80),
sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.42.2")}, [16]) = 0
writev(8, [{"\1\1\0\1\0\10\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\1\4\0\1\3X\0\0\17\17"..., 888},
{"\1\5\0\1\0\0\0\0", 8}], 2) = -1 EPIPE (Broken pipe)
It hasn't tried a connect() after the socket(), so the writev() fails with
EPIPE.
Yet, the documentation claims:
"host": is hostname/ip of the FastCGI process
