Re: Flask OAuth Problem

Hi again.

So I finally got it running. Seems like pip did not install the latest
version of Flask-OAuth.

Now I have another problem: How do I get a Flask app running on
http://server.xx/ with an empty path in the url on a lighttpd?  I followed
the instructions in the Flask docs an in the Werkzeug docs but I still have
problems.

If I set the lighttpd config to this: fastcgi.server = ("/" => ... I get the
app's index page served well but static media and every other url does not
work properly. If I set the config to fastcgi.server = ("" => ... some urls
with tailing slash do not work anymore.

Kind regards,
Thomas.

lighttpd has all kinds of bugs with WSGI applications depending on the 
adapter and configuration you are using.  You will need to write 
yourself a WSGI middleware that works around these bugs by settings 
SCRIPT_NAME, PATH_INFO and co from the values of the WSGI environment 
that look the best.

Do some Googling for lighttpd fixing middlwares.  Werkzeug ships one for 
some of the common problems, so maybe that works for you.
