V2 : help to set up a Yourls instance

Nope…

Caddy does not start and I have this error :

That’s a fun little bug…

Thanks for trying it!

To clarify what @matt is saying, the problem is that php_fastcgi is a composite directive, it maps to a bunch of different matchers and handlers. The route directive doesn’t seem to know how to handle these right now, because it doesn’t allow matchers inside of itself I think. So definitely a little bug in the Caddyfile.

OK, thanks for the explanations. I have restored the longer version for now.

@nicolinux @francislavoie Fixed that up and I confirmed that it worked (meaning, didn’t produce an error): httpcaddyfile: Allow php_fastcgi to be used in route directive · caddyserver/caddy@348cb79 · GitHub - can you please build from that commit and try again? I did not test it with your particular use case (I don’t have a PHP environment.)

If you test it in the next few hours and it doesn’t work, I can probably fix it before beta 19 goes out today.

Thanks for your patience and for trying various things! And thanks Francis for your help.

I’ll do you one better. You shouldn’t even need to build from source! You can grab one of the build artifacts from our CI pipeline for that commit: httpcaddyfile: Allow php_fastcgi to be used in route directive · caddyserver/caddy@348cb79 · GitHub :smile:

Later beta19 was released, but it had new bugs related to php. Do not update yet:
https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/3178

Yeah, sorry about that. Instead you can use fastcgi: Fix PATH_INFO (issue #3178) · caddyserver/caddy@235357a · GitHub which does have the fix.

I will rather wait for the next beta, my workflow depends on the GitHub releases and the artefacts are not working in the same way.

When the beta 20 is out, I will try and report though.

Please test it before then. I know that’s not super convenient but we’re also working hard to make sure the bug is fixed before we release it rather than after.

Sorry, I had no time to work more on this yesterday.

I installed the beta 20 this morning on a different server, and I have this error preventing it from starting :

Mar 25 07:47:43 voiretmanger caddy[8760]: run: loading initial config: loading new config: loading http app module: provision http: server srv0: setting up route handlers: route 3: loading handler modules: position 0: loading module 'subroute': provision http.handlers.subroute: setting up subroutes: route 8: loading handler modules: position 0: loading module 'reverse_proxy': provision http.handlers.reverse_proxy: loading transport: loading module 'fastcgi': decoding module config: http.reverse_proxy.transport.fastcgi: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field Transport.split_path of type []string

Here’s the Caddyfile :

    request_header favicon.ico Cache-Control "public, max-age=2592000, s-maxage=86400"

}

Should I open a Github bug report ? I see the error is linked to routing, so I was wondering if it was the same bug as before or a different one.

In the meantime, I’m revering back to beta 18.

Let me know if you need more informations.

I’m not able to reproduce that error with the config you gave. It adapts just fine for me.

Couple notes:

I’m not seeing that in your Caddyfile. Can you post your whole config? It’s likely the error is happening because of something you didn’t include.

You have a weird unicode character in there. 0x007f, right after .ico. Strange.

Anyways, I don’t think favicon.ico is valid here, I’m pretty sure you’ll need to add a slash in front /favicon.ico so that Caddy detects that as a path matcher.

Edit: Reading the error again, I think Caddy is reading your config from the autosave.json location instead of reading your current config. There was a change in how the split_path option of the transport works, the error looks like it’s related to that option being configured as a string instead of an array of strings; makes me think it’s a stale JSON config.

Edit2: Yup the error is as I suspected, stale config. I took the adapted JSON, changed the split_path option to a string instead of an array of strings, and I get this error:

OK so it’s not the same issue, sorry for the mix-up. Maybe an admin could create a new post on the forum ?

Anyway, how should I handle this case ? Just delete the autosave.json file ?

The log part was so simple, I did not even pasted here. But here you go :

(logs) {
    log {
        output file /var/log/caddy/access.log
    }    
}

And I will also change the request_header commands. And thank you again for your help. :slight_smile:

Yes. It was a one-time breaking change (sorry about that, but that’s how it goes in beta).

Definitely upgrade to beta 20, it has some important bug fixes.

No worry, it’s an easy fix. And indeed, it works fine now !

I will try to update the server with Yourls, to see if the simpler route solution works.

Thanks for your work by the way. :slight_smile:

EDIT : great, the @francislavoie suggestion works fine with Caddy 2 b20. Thanks again.

Awesome! Glad to hear it. Thanks for helping to confirm the fix.
