Why not set it up with lighttd the same way asteriskNOW is?

Tzafrir, why to you install lighttd then install apache?

Cheers,

No. Root is not OK. Why should Asterisk be serving static files anyway?
It does a bad job at this. You don't even have decent access and error
logs. 

So the next set would be to set 'enablestatic=no' 

Let's use the bad-old apache to handle everything. Apache has a
well-known mod_proxy. It has su_exec, it has directory listing (when you
enable it) and decent logging facilities. So we'll let it server static 
content and proxy the manager content.

System: 
boomtime, a.k.a. tzafrir_laptop's laptop. Debian Etch with some 
experimental asterisk packages (1.4.2, and asterisk-gui).

1. apt-get install lighttpd

2. configure the manager access properly:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; /etc/asterisk/manager.conf:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
[general]
enabled = yes
webenabled = yes
port = 5038
;bindaddr = 127.0.0.1

[tzafrir]
secret = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
;deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
;permit=209.16.236.73/255.255.255.0
; Authorization for various classes
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,config
write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,config

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; /etc/asterisk/http.conf:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

[general]
enabled=yes
enablestatic=no
; Are those necessary?
bindaddr=127.0.0.1
bindport=8088

3. Restart asterisk Check

Sanity check: 
http://localhost:8088/asterisk/rawman?action=login

and you should get:

  Response: Error
  Message: Authentication failed

This means that the manager is listening on port 8088 .

On to configure apache.

In Debian the data dir is /usr/share/asterisk, and is separate from the
varlibdir . The datadir contains files that should be read-only. If
you're into building a small system, keeping this separation may be a
good idea, as it allows you to keep the bulk of the Asterisk files on a
read-only media or at least know that it should not be changed.



The static-http files sit under /usr/share/asterisk/static-http .

4. Install apache:
# Install the package:
apt-get install apache2
# enable some module (debian-specific script)
a2enmod  proxy_http rewrite
/etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload

Check that apache2 is installed:

  http://localhost/

should redirect you to:

  http://localhost/apache2-default/

which says just:

  It works!


5. Now let's redirect /asterisk/manager* from port 8088

######################
###################### /etc/apache2/conf.d/asterisk
###################### (take 1)
######################
ProxyPass        /asterisk/rawman http://localhost:8088/asterisk/rawman 
ProxyPassReverse /asterisk/rawman http://localhost:8088/asterisk/rawman

<LocationMatch /asterisk/rawman*>
  Allow from all
</LocationMatch>


Now let's try again to "login" to the manager. This time, through
apache:

  http://localhost/asterisk/rawman?action=login


6. Let's add in the static files:

######################
###################### /etc/apache2/conf.d/asterisk
###################### (full version)
######################
ProxyPass        /asterisk/rawman http://localhost:8088/asterisk/rawman 
ProxyPassReverse /asterisk/rawman http://localhost:8088/asterisk/rawman

<LocationMatch /asterisk/rawman*>
  Allow from all
</LocationMatch>

Alias /asterisk/static /usr/share/asterisk/static-http 
<Directory /usr/share/asterisk/static-http> 
  Options indexes 
</Directory>
