My goal was to serve a <a href="http://typo.leetsoft.com/">Typo</a>, a blog engine based on <a href="http://rubyonrails.org">RubyOnRails</a>. I was thwarted by not knowing RubyOnRails very well, and by knowing FastCGI and lighttpd not at all.</p> <p>The first issue was that Typo doesn’t like to run in a subdirectory on a webserver. That is, it wanted to be at <code>ntsh.innocuous.org/</code>, not <code>innocuous.org/ntsh</code>. This offended my sensibilities somewhat, so I decided to beat it into submisssion. This involved tracking down a bunch of places where paths were hard coded, which included a few places in the templates and the CSS.</p>
