Lighttpd

Hello,

I'm running lighttpd 1.4.28 on TinyCore Linux. I also have PHP 5.3.8 which, I'm told, works with cgi, fcgi, apache2 and lighttpd. Here's what I did:

• created directories /var/www and /var/www/htdocs.
• created files /var/www/htdocs/index.html and /var/www/htdocs/hello.php
• chown to nobody:nogroup on all of the above dirs and files.
• created basic lighttpd.conf (owner is root, perm is 644):
  

        server.document-root = "/htdocs" 
        server.port = 80
        server.username = "nobody" 
        server.groupname = "nogroup" 
        server.chroot = "/var/www" 
        mimetype.assign = (
           ".html" => "text/html",
           ".txt" => "text/plain" 
           )
        static-file.exclude-extensions = ( ".fcgi", ".php", ".rb", "~", ".inc" )
        index-file.names = ( "index.html" )
  

So far so good, I start up lighttpd (using sudo) and I can see the index page.
Then I add the following to lighttpd.conf:

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

Trying to start lighttpd now (again via sudo) I get "bind failed for unix:/tmp/php.socket-0 No such file or directory", and it's tagged mod_fastcgi.c.978.

My questions, does anyone see any problem with my config file or how I've set up my lighttpd environment (permissions, etc.)? Does this look like a lighttpd issue (bad config file, etc.)? Or is it perhaps a TinyCore issue (missing packages, incorrect version, etc.)?

The above described config came from TinyCore, I've also seen a config file that uses "$SERVER["socket"] == "80"..." which came from lighttpd which seems to cause even more problems so I've not pursued it further.

TIA,
eric
