If not specified they + will be resolved relative to the current working directory, + which may not always work well for a server. + + LuaScope once|request|conn|server [max|min max] + Specify the lifecycle scope of the Lua interpreter which will + be used by handlers in this "Directory." The default is "once" + + once: use the interpreter once and throw it away. + + request: use the interpreter to handle anything based on + the same file within this request, which is also + request scoped. + + conn: Same as request but attached to the connection_rec + + server: This one is different than others because the + server scope is quite long lived, and multiple threads + will have the same server_rec. To accommodate this + server scoped interpreter are stored in an apr + resource list. The min and max arguments are intended + to specify the pool size, but are unused at this time. + + LuaMapHandler uri-pattern /path/to/lua/script.lua [function-name] + This directive matches a uri pattern to invoke a specific + handler function in a specific file. It uses PCRE regular + expressions to match the uri, and supports interpolating + match groups into both the file path and the function name + be careful writing your regular expressions to avoid security + issues. + + Examples: + LuaMapHandler /(\w+)/(/w+) /scripts/$1.lua handle_$2 + This would match uri's such as /photos/show?id=9 + to the file /scripts/photos.lua and invoke the + handler function handle_show on the lua vm after + loading that file. + + LuaMapHandler /bingo /scripts/wombat.lua + This would invoke the "handle" function, which + is the default if no specific function name is + provided. + + LuaPackagePath /path/to/include/?.lua + Add a path to lua's module search path. Follows the same + conventions as lua. This just munges the package.path in the + lua vms. + + Examples: + LuaPackagePath /scripts/lib/?.lua + LuaPackagePath /scripts/lib/?/init.lua + + LuaPackageCPath /path/to/include/?.soa + Add a path to lua's shared library search path.

The default + is stat, which stats the top level script (not any included + ones) each time that file is needed, and reloads it if the + modified time indicates it is newer than the one it has + already loaded. The other values cause it to keep the file + cached forever (don't stat and replace) or to never cache the + file. + + In general stat or forever is good production and stat or never + for development. + + Examples: + LuaCodeCache stat + LuaCodeCache forever + LuaCodeCache never + + LuaHookTranslateName /path/to/lua/script.lua hook_function_name + Add a hook (at APR_HOOK_MIDDLE) to the translate name phase of + request processing.
