I've been struggling with getting lighttpd and php to work for over a day now (yes, almost 20 hours wasted on useless fumbling and stumbling)

I've managed to get fun_plug 0.4 lighttpd to work fine, but I'm not able to get php to work.
I've tried using the fun_plug 0.5 experimental version as well, but still no luck. (I'm not even able to get lighttdp running on 0.5 grrrrr)

I must have followed the tricks and solutions of at least 20 threads here, and yet none of them provide a working solution. Most of them dont even provide half a solution, they just give you small clues, and bits and pieces of things you might wanna do to get this working.

I have very little knowledge of *nix stuff, but I'm very skilled at windows stuff... I figured this should be fairly easy to do, but this is clearly not the case.

It would be nice if someone could write a -proper- step by step guide on how to do this. I would be very thankful, and I'm sure lots of other people would be as well

It's hard to solve your problem if you don't tell us what you did.

It's basically two steps:

1. Install php and all the dependencies (openssl, zlib, libxml2, libiconv, maybe more). Test in a telnet session with 'php-cgi -v'. If all is fine, it should print 'PHP 5.2.5 (cgi-fcgi) ...'.

2. Adjust lighttpd config. If you're using the default config from /ffp/etc/examples (cp /ffp/etc/examples/lighttpd.conf /ffp/etc), you need to uncomment 6 lines (i.e. remove '#' chars) using your favorite editor (with unix support!):

Code:

...
                               "mod_fastcgi",
...
## php support
## uncomment the following lines and the mod_fastcgi module above
fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => ((
    "bin-path"  => "/ffp/bin/php-cgi",
    "socket"    => "/tmp/php-cgi.socket",
    "max-procs" => 2
)))

You can test it with a small file like this (/mnt/HD_a2/www/pages/phpinfo.php):

Code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Hi fonz, thanks for getting back to me:)

Basically I've tried any little tip and clue I could find in this forum, this is why i didnt list all the things I've tried becuase it would simply be too many things to write here.

A few minutes ago I finally managed to get it working tho. I followed the steps found in the readme text here http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.3/

I didnt realize there was a completely different readme for each version, so when I tried installing 0.3 instead i quickly found out that it works

I even managed to get gdlib working now. Thanks again fonz.
