The fix is to use LUA USE?

Maybe that should be documented in metadata.xml?
Comment 2 Alexis Ballier gentoo-dev 2012-04-11 15:12:36 UTC 
yes you need lua for the http interface now, the old one is gone afaik
Comment 3 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-06-13 22:22:10 UTC 
Maybe you should enforce the lua use flag when httpd is used? I spend quite some time trying to figure out why the Web interface does not work before I find this bug
