This is a how-to to on installing and setting up lighttpd and php on dapper. Lighttpd or "lighty" is a webserver with a very low use of resources.

required abilities:

  • open a terminal

Install the packages we need: (this may not be all, but these two will automatically download the rest as dependencies)

sudo apt-get install lighttpd php5-cgi

and enable the fastcgi module with

sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi 

and reload the lighttpd daemon

sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd force-reload

To test the a php script you can put a phpinfo script http://php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php named index.php into /var/www and check it out at http://localhost/index.php
