"ServerAlias" in lighttpd

I’ve been asked a few times the quick and easy way to make somedomain.whatever all point to the same place with lighttpd.

One of the things I have to come like the most about lighttpd is conditionals and the ability to use perl-style regexps.

The “virtual host” below is for an exact match to weblog.textdrive.com

$HTTP["host"] == "weblog.textdrive.com" {        
server.indexfiles          = ( "index.php" )
server.document-root             = "/home/weblog/public/"    
server.error-handler-404 = "/index.php"
fastcgi.server = (
                ".php" =>                         
                    ( "localhost" =>       
                        (
                            "socket" => "/tmp/weblogphp5-fcgi.socket",    
                            "bin-path" => "/usr/local/www/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi",
                            "bin-environment" => (
                            "PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "4",
                            "PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "5000"
                                                 )
                        )
                    )                                 
                 )
}

So if you want weblog.textdrive.com and weblog.textdrive.cn to pull the same site without adding anything, replace = = with =~ and whack off the dot com.

$HTTP["host"] =~ "weblog.textdrive" {        
server.indexfiles          = ( "index.php" )
server.document-root             = "/home/weblog/public/"    
server.error-handler-404 = "/index.php"
fastcgi.server = (
                ".php" =>                         
                    ( "localhost" =>       
                        (
                            "socket" => "/tmp/weblogphp5-fcgi.socket",    
                            "bin-path" => "/usr/local/www/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi",
                            "bin-environment" => (
                            "PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "4",
                            "PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "5000"
                                                 )
                        )
                    )                                 
                 )
}

or 

$HTTP["host"] =~ "weblog.textdrive.(com|cn)" {        
server.indexfiles          = ( "index.php" )
server.document-root             = "/home/weblog/public/"    
server.error-handler-404 = "/index.php"
fastcgi.server = (
                ".php" =>                         
                    ( "localhost" =>       
                        (
                            "socket" => "/tmp/weblogphp5-fcgi.socket",    
                            "bin-path" => "/usr/local/www/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi",
                            "bin-environment" => (
                            "PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "4",
                            "PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "5000"
                                                 )
                        )
                    )                                 
                 )
}
