A recent email from Pascal reminded me that I had this patch kicking around. I haven't tested this on Linux, since I don't have lighttpd installed there (I already have Apache), but I don't expect any problems; famous last words!

The essence of the change is the addition of the "mod_setenv" module, along with the PATH environment variable assignment. (otherwise gitweb can't find a shell and, therefore, can't execute any git programs)

Also, I had to add a default mime-type assignment of text/plain ("" => "text/plain"). If my memory serves me, the other additions to the mime-type mapping was just cosmetic; and why not?

Hmmm, I just noticed that the first hunk, which is needed to suppress a "lighttpd: not found" error message, could perhaps be seen as an un-related fix. Dunno.

ATB, Ramsay Jones
