i installed lighttpd and configure document root /var/www/html. as i install fastfgi+lighttpd+php
when i use index.html then it opens okay . But when i try to open a index.php I get a 404 -not found...

Hi,

A 404 (not found) error means that the index.php is not under the docroot of your webserver.
Make sure that the docroot is /var/www/html and you have index.php under that directory.

Hi

index.php is on the correct path as when i use index.html on same path it works properly.. & when i use same php files on Apache it works well, but not on lighttpd ....

Hi bathory,

index.php is on the correct path as when i use index.html on same path it works properly.. & when i use same php files on Apache it works well, but not on lighttpd ....

Are you sure? What is the "server.document-root" in lighttpd.conf?
You can enable debugging to see where lighttpd searches for the index.php. For this you can use:

As you suggest i done that, but it still not working , now when i checked error_log it gives following logs:

Hi,

Hmm, the crappy lighttpd logging. It doesn't mention what is the file it tries to retrieve.
Anyway, what happens if you use: http://x.x.x.x/index.php ?
Also check lighttpd.conf and make sure you have index.php into the index-file.names:
Regards

it's already defiend: check below

index-file.names = ( "index.php", "index.html",
"index.htm", "default.htm" )

& there's only one file (index.php : test page i remove all other ) on document root. & i also checked it by using domainname/index.php on browser, it also not work...
& i also insatall lighttpd one another server it not works there & gives same error.

can you suggest me any alternation from so i can use .php pages on. or install lighttpd using any other way.... currently we are using Apache on our server's & due to some performance problem we want to install lighttpd

following lighttpd and php rpm exist on my system::

[root@lighthttp lighttpd]# rpm -qa | grep lighttpd
lighttpd-fastcgi-1.4.26-1.el5.rf
lighttpd-1.4.26-1.el5.rf
[root@lighthttp lighttpd]# rpm -qa | grep php
php-ldap-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-cli-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-mbstring-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-common-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-imap-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-devel-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-xml-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-pear-1.8.1-2.el5.centos
php-pdo-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-mysql-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-gd-5.2.10-1.el5.centos

Does not make sense.
Do you have also the following:
I see you're using rhel/centos, so check if this is due to SELinux.

Unfortunately you have to use fast-cgi to serve php pages on lighttpd. Regarding performance, you can use nginx, but it also uses fast-cgi to run php.

As i checked fast-cgi also exist on my system. i'm sending the configuration file attach with this message, Kindly check

Thanks for your support,

You have commented out the whole fastcgi settings. Of course that shouldn't give a 404 error, but who knows?
Uncomment them and restart lighttpd to see what you get.

Thanks for your support, it's working now.......
