lighttpd + "cgi-bin" :/

Hi,

i'm trying to setup a lighttpd server and I don't seem to be able to run cgi on it. I have a bunch of programs written in c++ that i'd like to run. It works fine in apache on my other comp but this is a laptop so I figured I'd go for something lighter
There are lots of instructions on how to run perl, php, etc... But I've found nothing that works for this scenario.

You've enabled mod_cgi in the config?

Yes, but I got it somewhat working now:

    
#alias.url += ( "/cgi-bin" => server_root + "/cgi-bin" )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/cgi-bin" {
     cgi.assign = ( "" => "" )
}

the alias.url option doesn't work, gives a parsing error (somewhere near += ), but I don't quite get what that does anyway... commenting that out seems to result in what i want!

Thanks!
