Lighttpd Rails Script
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.
Join For FreeAdding these two files to your rails project will allow you to start a lighttpd server like you would start webrick. e.g.: './script/lighttpd' or './script/lighttpd -d -e production'
This is ./script/lighttpd:
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
require 'optparse'
OPTIONS = {
:port => 8000,
:ip => "0.0.0.0",
:daemon => false,
:environment => "development",
:app_name => "myapp",
}
ARGV.options do |opts|
script_name = File.basename($0)
opts.banner = "Usage: ruby #{script_name} [options]"
opts.separator ""
opts.on("-p", "--port=port", Integer,
"Runs Rails on the specified port.",
"Default: 3000") { |OPTIONS[:port]| }
opts.on("-b", "--binding=ip", String,
"Binds Rails to the specified ip.",
"Default: 0.0.0.0") { |OPTIONS[:ip]| }
opts.on("-e", "--environment=name", String,
"Specifies the environment to run this server under (test/development/production).",
"Default: development") { |OPTIONS[:environment]| }
opts.on("-a", "--app-name=name", String,
"Specifies the application name.",
"Default: rails_app") { |OPTIONS[:environment]| }
opts.on("-d", "--daemon",
"Make lighttpd / Rails run as a Daemon (only works if fork is available -- meaning on *nix)."
) { OPTIONS[:daemon] = true }
opts.separator ""
opts.on("-h", "--help",
"Show this help message.") { puts opts; exit }
opts.parse!
end
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = OPTIONS[:environment]
RAILS_ROOT = File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../"
LIGHTTPD_CONF_FILE = "/tmp/#{OPTIONS[:app_name]}_lighttpd.conf"
File.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}config/lighttpd.conf", "r") do |file|
conf = file.read
conf.gsub!(/PORT/, OPTIONS[:port].to_s)
conf.gsub!(/BINDING/, OPTIONS[:ip])
conf.gsub!(/RAILS_ROOT/, File.expand_path(RAILS_ROOT))
conf.gsub!(/APP_NAME/, OPTIONS[:app_name])
File.open(LIGHTTPD_CONF_FILE, "w") { |output| output.write(conf) }
end
CMD = "lighttpd -f #{LIGHTTPD_CONF_FILE}"
CMD << " -D" unless OPTIONS[:daemon]
puts CMD
`#{CMD}`
