Hi Dave:

I set an earlier response to just Dave. I'll incorporate that info here too
for posterity.

The post should be to /tracker/example/ (note the trailing /). I
suggested he look at the [tracker] web seting to make sure it has the
trailing /.

Interesting. I seem to remember that a missing trailing / would cause
login to break similar to how you described. I tried to find the
mailing list thread for that but had no luck.

The servers we usualy see are Apache and Nginx, I also use Hiawatha to
get a diferent than mainstream server.

Cool. Can you post your current lighttpd config and web setting?
(Change out the host name and actual tracker name with 'tracker_name'
if you want). I'll post it on the wiki to document configurations for
less mainstream web servers.

Hope you enjoy using Roundup and can brag about it to your friends
8-). If you run into issues, we are here.

Have a great week.
