Some of us techies have to maintain tens of webservers with different configurations. With Apache, you can easily throw in .htaccess for each website without having to change web server config. It’s not so simple with Lighttpd, that’s why I needed some script to join global configuration file with a local one. Some perl coding, and lighttpd config merge script is ready.
emerge Tie-IxHashperl -MCPAN -eshell
cpan> install Tie::IxHashjoincfg global.conf local.conf > new.conf
lighttpd -f new.conf
As usual, NO WARRANTIES!
