Lighttpd + PHP

If you want to enable lighttpd to use PHP then you need to turn on fastcgi.

1. Edit the /usr/local/etc/lighttpd/conf.d/fastcgi.conf and add the following:

fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
        ( "localhost" =>
                (
                        "socket" => "/var/run/lighttpd/sockets/php-fastcgi.socket",
                        "bin-path" => "/usr/local/bin/php-cgi"
                )
        )
)

2. Uncomment the following line in /usr/local/etc/lighttpd/modules.conf

##
## FastCGI (mod_fastcgi)
##
include "conf.d/fastcgi.conf"

3. Restart the lighttpd service

service lighttpd restart
