Virtual hosting in Lighttpd doesn't work

Question

I'm configurintg virtual hosting on lighttpd. For some reason only 1 virtual hosting work and the other doesn't. This is the configuration:

#this doesn't work (just a html file)
$HTTP["host"] =~ "^www\.website\.com$" {
  server.document-root = "/var/www/astudio/sites/websiteTemp"
}

#this works (Drupal installation)
$HTTP["host"] =~ "beta\.website\.com" {
  server.document-root = "/var/www/astudio/sites/website"
  server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/danydiop/error.log"
  accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd/danydiop/access.log"
  include_shell "./drupal-lua-conf.sh danydiop"

 url.access-deny += ( "~", ".inc", ".engine", ".install", ".info",
       ".module", ".sh", "sql", ".theme",
       ".tpl.php", ".xtmpl", "Entries",
       "Repository", "Root" )


  # "Fix" for Drupal SA-2006-006, requires lighttpd 1.4.13 or above
  # Only serve .php files of the drupal base directory
  $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/.*/.*\.php$" {
      fastcgi.server = ()
      url.access-deny = ("")
  }

  magnet.attract-physical-path-to = ("/etc/lighttpd/drupal-lua-scripts/p-.lua")

}

what am I missing ? When it doesn't work, I just get the page "It Works!" instead of the folder content

Hay there..

Try this..

$HTTP["host"] =~ "^(www\.website\.com)$" {
  server.document-root = "/var/www/astudio/sites/websiteTemp"
}

my guess is you missed the carat and brackets ( i think its called a carat )

Sorry.. i didnt see that either.. you could always avoid that with not using the regex expressions like this

$HTTP["host"] =~ "www.website.com" {
