[TYPO3-english] Still problems with lighttpd (now isolated to @is_file function call difference in class.t3lib_tstemplate.php line 1163)

[Per Baekgaard]

OK -- fixed the problem now.

When files/templates are included by typo3, a relative document path is 
used. This is meant to be relative to the root of the typo3 installation.

Thus, when the @is_file function is called, it assumes the current 
working directory to be the root of the typo3 installation -- i.e. where 
the index.php file resides.

I had my typo3 installation setup with symbolic links, i.e. typo3_src 
was a symlink to ../typo3_src-4.2.6 and index.php was symlinked to 
typo3_src/index.php.

Under Apache, when this index.php is called up, the cwd remains the home 
of the typo3 installation, say /var/www/mysite.

However, under LigthTPD, the cwd becomes the one of the "real" file, 
i.e. /var/www/typo3_src-4.2.6. This is realy bad -- it will cause typo3 
FE to cease working, and it will also make it difficult to host multiple 
sites even if you fixed it by more symlinking...

So... I removed the symlink and just copied the index.php file 
instead... et voila, now all works well as intended!


... just a warning to others that may have problems with this behaviour 
of LightTPD vs. Apache. I also reported this as an "issue" (#1983) 
against LightTPD.
