I installed lighttpd+php-cgi to a Debian Squeeze server, and ran "lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php" and then "/etc/init.d/lighttpd force-reload". The result is that all the php files just give me "403 - forbidden".
"lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php" added a file called "15-fastcgi-php.conf" to /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled. The file looks like this:
Code:
# /usr/share/doc/lighttpd-doc/fastcgi.txt.gz
# http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Docs:ConfigurationOptions#mod_fastcgi-fastcgi
## Start an FastCGI server for php (needs the php5-cgi package)
fastcgi.server += ( ".php" =>
((
"bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi",
"socket" => "/tmp/php.socket",
"max-procs" => 1,
"bin-environment" => (
"PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "4",
"PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "10000"
),
"bin-copy-environment" => (
"PATH", "SHELL", "USER"
),
"broken-scriptfilename" => "enable"
))
)
In /var/log/lighttpd/error.log it says:
Code:
(log.c.166) server started
(server.c.961) WARNING: unknown config-key: fastcgi.server (ignored)
In addition to that I have done no other configuration procedures. HTML files work fine, but php's don't. The scripts reside under /var/www/ and are owned by www-data:www-data (exactly like the html files too). The permissions should also be sufficient (-rw-r--r--). Any help?
--Edit--
And immediately after posting I got it fixed. You also need to enable module fastcgi in addition to fastcgi-php
