lighttpd, php5, mysql fastcgi problem

[blu]

I've installed lighttpd and php5 and modified the lighthttpd.conf to

Code: [Select]

server.document-root = "/htdocs"
server.port = 80
server.username = "tc"
server.groupname = "nogroup"
server.chroot = "/www"

server.modules              = (
            "mod_access",
            "mod_accesslog",
    "mod_fastcgi",
            "mod_rewrite",
    "mod_auth"
)

fastcgi.server = (
  ".php" =>
  (( "host" => "127.0.0.1",
     "port" => 1026,
      "bin-path" => "/usr/local/bin/php-cgi"
  )))
When I run lighttpd I get

Code: [Select]

2010-02-01 14:20:35: (log.c.172) server started
2010-02-01 14:20:35: (mod_fastcgi.c.1087) the fastcgi-backend /usr/local/bin/php-cgi failed to start:

2010-02-01 14:20:35: (mod_fastcgi.c.1094) If you're trying to run your app as a FastCGI backend, make sure you're using the FastCGI-enabled version.
If this is PHP on Gentoo, add 'fastcgi' to the USE flags.

2010-02-01 14:20:35: (server.c.928) Configuration of plugins failed. Going down.

If i change the lighttpd.conf to

Code: [Select]

fastcgi.server = (
  ".php" =>
  (( "bin-path" => "/usr/local/bin/php-cgi",
      "socket" => "/tmp/php.socket"
  ))) I get

Code: [Select]

2010-02-01 14:24:58: (log.c.172) server started
2010-02-01 14:24:58: (mod_fastcgi.c.960) bind failed for: unix:/tmp/php.socket-0 No such file or directory

2010-02-01 14:24:58: (server.c.928) Configuration of plugins failed. Going down.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Maybe support was not built in:

If you're trying to run your app as a FastCGI backend, make sure you're using the FastCGI-enabled version.

FCGI is enabled, I use it everyday. The http/php server needs to be started as root (or sudo) since the user doesn't have access to the socket device.

[blu]

are you using lighttpd or apache2?

can you post some lines from lighttpd.conf? How do you start the server? I mean what do you type on terminal.

Thanks.

Here is a config file for lighttpd that works:

Code: [Select]

server.modules              = (
                                "mod_rewrite",
                                "mod_redirect",

$HTTP["url"] =~ "\.pdf$" {
  server.range-requests = "disable"
}

I use the command `sudo lighttpd -f /path/to/config/file`

Why map html to php? If I understand that correctly, it increases server load by having PHP process things it does nothing to.

[robc]

this config file is for a server that only uses html files with php, so it is easier to have everything be handled by the php server since everything needs to anyway.

This config file is just a sample to change and/or build upon.

It works! Thank you very much. I think I'm going to try this on a 486 .
