Hi guys,

Im doing fileuploads and it works great with webrick…I just installed  
lighttpd 1.4.7 and ran ruby script/server suecessfully picking up my  
lighty and fcgi install…

however…when I try to upload a file the proces either stalls (no  
evidence of the hit in any logs) or returns 503…

any suggestions??

thanks in advance…

Mikkel

I have site up and running, and recently the lighttpd was upgraded to  
1.4.6 and now my client has been telling me she’s getting random 503  
errors on photo uploads…sounds like the same problem, it would be  
great to find a solution to this.

File uploading was broken at 1.4.6 - reports say that 1.4.8 will fix  
them, and that the fix is in svn trunk now.
