Lighttpd

5. added <?php phpinfo(); ?> in /srv/www/lighttpd/index.php

have you tried removing php-tcp and php-num-procs part ? then restart lighttpd and not reloading it ?

I'm not sure if i've removed the right lines so just to be sure this is the result:

fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
                   ( "php-local" =>
                     (
                       "socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi-1.socket",
                       "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi",
                       "max-procs" => 1,
                       "broken-scriptfilename" => "enable",
                     )
                   ),
                )

how does modules.conf look like?

server.modules = (
"mod_access",
"mod_fastcgi",
)
Everything else is commented out.

what does lighttpd -pf /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf say?

have you tried stop lighttpd then check if its still running or not then start it again?

sudo lighttpd -pf /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf:

service lighttpd status:
lighttpd is stopped

doesn't show lighttpd.pid when stopped

When I remove ".php" from "static-file.exclude-extensions" then when loading https://serverip:61365/index.php my browser open a save dialog for index.php file

in modules.conf.. remove the hashtag on the line with include "conf.d/fastcgi.conf"

It works! I already knew about "include conf.d/fastcgi" line but when starting lighttpd it always stated: "Cannot load plugin mod_fastcgi more than once, please fix your config (we may not accept such configs in future releases" so I commented it before without even checking the .php test file. But when commenting out the server.modules = (... "mod_fastcgi",) and leaving "include conf.d/fastcgi" uncommented it doesn't complain and still works. So thank you very much.
