BPI-R3 issue install lighttpd

Hello all , i try to install lighttpd (for next cloud)but i have issue :

Blockquote 2023-04-27 10:29:26: (../src/plugin.c.214) dlopen() failed for: /usr/lib/lighttpd/mod_indexfile.so Error loading shared library /usr/lib/lighttpd/mod_indexfile.so: No such file or directory
2023-04-27 10:29:26: (../src/server.c.1448) loading plugins finally failed
lighttpd.conf validation failed

Use OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r22658-2c530fcb97 .
Thank You!

Are you following the guide in the wiki? What step are you on?

Have you installed all the required packages?

Yes i follow step by step. But, /etc/init.d/lighttpd start i have:

Blockquoteroot@OpenWrt:~# /etc/init.d/lighttpd start
2023-04-29 10:54:45: (../src/plugin.c.214) dlopen() failed for: /usr/lib/lighttpd/mod_indexfile.so Error loading shared library /usr/lib/lighttpd/mod_indexfile.so: No such file or directory

Same problem whit mod_indexfile.so. Compile lighttpd in SDK but without change.
I don't understand error : (../src/plugin.c.214) dlopen.

That file, mod_indexfile.so does not exist in any of the lighttpd packages. However it does exist within opensuse, so it can exist.

This would appear to be an issue as to how lighttpd was built. Others have had the same problem on other os's. Cure seems to be configuring a mix of static & shared at time of build. You need to raise an bug report, or use another server such as apache.

There appears to be an issue in the upstream lighttpd meson.build, and OpenWRT uses meson to build lighttpd. I'll submit a patch to OpenWRT on github before the end of the weekend.

You can manually do this to the unpackaged lighttpd source in your build tree:

--- a/src/meson.build
+++ b/src/meson.build
@@ -656,7 +656,7 @@ executable('lighttpd-angel',

Thank You for your help!
P.S. Compile in SDK

That patch applies cleanly if applied before others.
Perhaps you need to git pull (and then updates feeds and such)
or you may need to make V=s -j 4 -k package/feeds/packages/lighttpd/clean


I have submitted subsequent patches to fix the missing mod_indexfile (and mod_staticfile) in https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/20909 as those modules are now built-in to lighttpd by default.

If you applied my patch prior to the one in the patches/ dir done by the build, then try building with QUILT=1
make V=s -j 4 -k package/feeds/packages/lighttpd/prepare QUILT=1
or
make V=s -j 4 -k package/feeds/packages/lighttpd/refresh QUILT=1
(I'm not as familiar with all the openwrt-isms, but these helped me in the past.)

(Alternatively, if you're stuck, you might delete patches/020-meson-mod_webdav_min.patch if you're not using the special-package it enables.)

Note: I also edited the patch in my post above to match the src in lighttpd-1.4.69.tar.xz
Sorry for the trouble.

Edit: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/20909 has patches ready for openwrt master, passing CI.

I had to use make V=s -j 4 -k package/feeds/packages/lighttpd/refresh QUILT=1 to adjust the patches from upstream lighttpd.

https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/20909 has been merged into openwrt master.
Would you please pull and try building lighttpd?
