Another post that deals with WARNING: unknown config-key: alias.url (ignored)
suggests to include mod_alias
so I changed the original /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
from
server.modules = (
"mod_access",
"mod_accesslog",
"mod_auth",
"mod_expire",
"mod_compress",
"mod_redirect",
"mod_setenv",
"mod_rewrite"
)
to
server.modules = (
"mod_access",
"mod_accesslog",
"mod_alias",
"mod_auth",
"mod_expire",
"mod_compress",
"mod_redirect",
"mod_setenv",
"mod_rewrite"
)
which did the trick.
