difficulty installing lighttpd+php5+fastcgi on Ubuntu 10.04

Most tutorials do not mention anything about editing the lighttpd.conf file.

As I understand it, the following need to be modified:

The mod_fastcgi module needs to be loaded.

Code:

server.modules              = (

            "mod_access",

            "mod_alias",

            "mod_accesslog",

            "mod_compress",

            "mod_fastcgi",

#          "mod_rewrite",

And this code needs to be added - BTW: this keeps giving me an error. And most tutorials do not mention adding anything like this.

Code:

# fastcgi

fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => ((

                    "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi",

                    "socket" => "/tmp/php.socket"

                )))

What's your question? What have you done? What isn't working?

Installed and tested lighttpd, it worked.

Code:

sudo apt-get install lighttpd

Installed php5-cgi

Code:

sudo apt-get install php5-cgi

Edited php.ini

Code:

sudo vi /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini



# put this line at the end of the file

cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1

Editited lighttpd.conf

Code:

sudo vi /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf



# included mod_fastcgi



server.modules = (

“mod_access”,

“mod_alias”,

“mod_accesslog”,

“mod_fastcgi”,





# put the following code in the file

# the following seems to cause the parser error



fastcgi.server = ( “.php” => ((

“bin-path” => “/usr/bin/php5-cgi”,

“socket” => “/tmp/php.socket”

)))

Restart lighttpd,

Code:

# /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

Duplicate config variable in conditional 0 global: fastcgi.server

Your quotes are wrong. Use regular quotes ("") not smart quotes (“”). You also seem to have two fastcgi.server directives. Inspect /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/10-fastcgi.conf and perhaps remove the one in lighttpd.conf. What's around line 165 in lighttpd.conf?

Never mind, I got it. I found, and followed, this tutorial.
