Setting up Dynamic Map with lighttpd under Arch Linux

This page assumes:

• You have lighttpd installed.
• Your www-root directory to be: /srv/http/.
• You could access your Dynmap-map succesfully through http://localhost:8123/.

Start:

• To start, create the directory /srv/http/dynmap/.
• Copy the contents of the web directory found in the zip to /srv/http/dynmap/.

This example shows how to put dynmap on your lighttpd webserver in http://mywebserver/dynmap/.

In /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf, be sure you have the correct modules enabled:

    server.modules = ( "mod_access",
    "mod_rewrite",
    "mod_proxy",
    "mod_fastcgi"
    )

Now we must make the tiles available from the webserver and also 'redirect'/proxy /dynmap/up/ to dynmap's internal webserver. To do this, put the following at the end of /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf:

alias.url = ( "/dynmap/tiles/" => "/opt/minecraft_server/plugins/dynmap/web/tiles/" )

url.rewrite = ( "^/dynmap/up/(.*)" => "/up/$1" )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/up/" {
        proxy.server = ( "" => (( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 8123 )) )
}

url.rewrite = ( "^/dynmap/standalone/(.*)" => "/standalone/$1" )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/standalone/" {
        proxy.server = ( "" => (( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 8123 )) )
}

Restart lighttpd (sudo /etc/rc.d/lighttpd restart)

It should now display online players on http://mywebserver/dynmap/, keeping them up-to-date.
