Hi,
I don't *ever* mess with Xavante directly like that. I use the launcher (wsapi or orbit) installed during the wsapi-xavante rock. Just supply '.' for current working directory, or where ever your website source is (e.g. /var/xavante/<app-files>).
Have you read the Orbit docs (http://keplerproject.github.io/orbit/example.html). There is a good tutorial and it shows how the pieces fit together.
If you are looking for an alternative that does run its own webserver I suggest looking at Turbo.lua (http://turbolua.org).

Reading the Xavante manual, I found a suggestion of a configuration file:
--server.lua
local hfile = require "xavante.filehandler"
local hcgi = require "xavante.cgiluahandler"
local hredir = require "xavante.redirecthandler"
local xavante = require "xavante"
-- Define here where Xavante HTTP documents scripts are located
local webDir = XAVANTE_WEB
local simplerules = {
{ -- URI remapping example
match = "^[^%./]*/$",
with = hredir,
params = {"index.lp"}
},
{ -- cgiluahandler example
match = {"%.lp$", "%.lp/.*$", "%.lua$", "%.lua/.*$" },
with = hcgi.makeHandler (webDir)
},
{ -- filehandler example
match = ".",
with = hfile,
params = {baseDir = webDir}
},
}
xavante.HTTP{
server = {host = "*", port = 8080},
defaultHost = {
rules = simplerules
},
}
Note the use of webDir both to set the base directory for the file
handler and for the CGILua scripts. These paths should contain the
desired directories in your structure.
To use virtual hosts with Xavante, the call to xavante.HTTP would be
changed to something like
xavante.HTTP{
server = {host = "*", port = 8080},
defaultHost = {},
virtualhosts = {
["www.sitename.com"] = simplerules
}
}
It's not so easy to understand. I imagine "match" is used as the
rewrite rules of Apache.
XAVANTE_WEB seems to be a constant, probably "/", the current
directory where "server.lua" is placed.
I don't understand exactly the sense of cgiluahandler and filehandler.
But the most obscure part of the manual is about "xavante.start". If I
am using Xavante as a module, so I should call "xavante.start"
passing a "chck function".
I am using as a module? I am not sure! But as I have a
"require('xavante')", I believe yes.
"Check function"? the manual does not present an example... I don't
have any ideia what it is.
It would be wonderful if Xavante came with a standard configuration.
In PHP, with a simple "php --runserver", the server is raised.
As long as the time goes by, the experience increases and all the
parameters of the server will be understood. But at the first time,
it's really very complex!
