Installing Lighttpd, Simple step!

[downote]

I'm using CentOS 32bit

1.

rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

2. yum install lighttpd
3. yum install lighttpd-fastcgi php-cli
4. edit using sftp or vid command: /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
5. Search and edit: server.use-ipv6 = "disable"
6. edit using sftp or vid command: /etc/lighttpd/modules.conf
7. Search:

server.modules = (
?mod_access?,
# ?mod_alias?,
# ?mod_auth?,
# ?mod_evasive?,
# ?mod_redirect?,
# ?mod_rewrite?,
# ?mod_setenv?,
# ?mod_usertrack?,
)

Edit to:

server.modules = (
"mod_access",
"mod_alias",
"mod_auth",
"mod_evasive",
"mod_redirect",
"mod_rewrite",
"mod_setenv",
"mod_usertrack",
)

now scroll down and Search

##
## FastCGI (mod_fastcgi)
##
#include ?conf.d/fastcgi.conf?

and change for

##
## FastCGI (mod_fastcgi)
##
include "conf.d/fastcgi.conf"
 
fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
( "localhost" =>
(
"socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket",
"bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi"
)
)
)

Now everything its ok, I recommend to you to put an index.html in var/www/lighttpd because by default lighttpd give you an 404 error (chrome show me this like broken link that was my first fail)

Next! ===> 30%

8. Installing gcc for compailing
yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake

9. Installing Pkgconfig

wget http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.23.tar.gz

tar xvf pkg-config-0.23.tar.gz
cd pkg-config-0.23
./configure
make
make install
cd ..

10. Installing Lua

You will also need to download latest version of Lua for mod_magnet to be installed correctly.
Download latest version of Lua (This is needed for mod_magnet)
Use wget command to download the latest Lua:

wget http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.1.4.tar.gz

Use tar to uncompress the file:
tar xvf lua-5.1.4.tar.gz

Go into the directory of Lua:
cd lua-5.1.4

Use the following command for compiling:
(These instructions are for either Fedora or CentOS, if you are on different linux OS, you will need to read the README)

make linux

*Note: If you get readline errors, try: (that means you don?t have readline development packages installed)

yum install readline-devel

*Note: If you get errors like this ?/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses?, try:

yum install ncurses-devel

If everything goes well, do make install:

make install

Next, copy lua.pc to /usr/lib/pkgconfig where your pkgconfig is installed:

cp etc/lua.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig

Do ranlib command:

ranlib src/liblua.a

Back to working directory:

cd ..

11. remove Apache:
/sbin/service httpd stop
chkconfig httpd off
rpm -e httpd
chkconfig lighttpd --add
chkconfig lighttpd on
chkconfig --list


12. installing mysql
yum install mysql mysql-server
chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
/etc/init.d/mysqld start

13.Create a password for the MySQL user root (replace yourrootsqlpassword with the password you want to use):

mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword

14. Then check with

netstat -tap | grep mysql

on which addresses MySQL is listening. If the output looks like this:

tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:mysql *:* LISTEN 2713/mysqld

which means MySQL is listening on localhost.localdomain only, then you're safe with the password you set before. But if the output looks like this:

tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 2713/mysqld


14. reboot
15. edit lighttpd.conf for permalinks (wordpress)

url.rewrite-once = (
"^/robots.txt" => "$0",
"^/(wp-.+).*/?" => "$0",
"^/(sitemap.xml)" => "$0",
"^/(xmlrpc.php)" => "$0",
"^/keyword/([A-Za-z_0-9\-]+)/?$" => "/index.php?keyword=$1",
"^/.*?(\?.*)?$" => "/index.php$1"
)

======> Next Update
- lighttpd vhost for multiple domain
- lighttpd for rapidleech


=============> Why lighttpd?
decrease 10% memory consumed from apache and better on cpu load, read this: http://www.besthostingforums.com/64-...-cherokee.html
