* https://launchpad.net/~stbuehler/+archive/web-stable (only released versions of lighttpd and spawn-fcgi), packages for ubuntu
* http://debian.stbuehler.de/ (for debian testing, may contain prereleases)
h2. openSUSE
Website:
* http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=ALL&p=1&q=lighttpd
* http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/http/
The buildservice from opensuse may contain packages for other systems too
<pre>
zypper install lighttpd
</pre>
Some modules are only available from extra packages (use @zypper search lighttpd@ to find them)
h2. YUM based systems
<pre>
yum install lighttpd
</pre>
h2. Gentoo
<pre>
emerge lighttpd
</pre>
* Please note:
Don't neglect to set the proper USE flags for your lighty installation and all its dependencies. Take a look at the flags Portage would use by running emerge with the --pretend --verbose --tree options. This will pretend to install lighttpd and display some informative output, such as all USE flags and dependencies:
<pre>
emerge -pvt lighttpd
</pre>
If necessary, add your desired flags to /etc/portage/package.use. For example, if you want to emerge lighttpd with support for MySQL and PHP but without SSL, set the according USE flags:
<pre>
echo "www-servers/lighttpd php mysql -ssl" >> /etc/portage/package.use
</pre>
h2. FreeBSD ports
FreeBSD has the ports and lighttpd is in this tree for a long time now.
<pre>
cd /usr/ports/www/lighttpd
make install clean
</pre>
If you don't get the configuration dialog, do @make config@ first. The additional CONFIG_ARGS for the PHP5 installation force cgi-fcgi support in /usr/local/bin/php. The option @--with-pcre-regex@ is needed to support several functions that use regular expressions like 'preg_match', and you really want that for things like conditionals, rewrite and redirect.
Now that everything is installed, enable lighttpd in rc.conf and edit it's configuration:
<pre>
echo lighttpd_enable=\"YES\" >> /etc/rc.conf
cd /usr/local/etc/
cp lighttpd.conf.sample lighttpd.conf
</pre>
You will probably need to create some directories and files, since the port neglects to do them for you (as of 2008 February 24), and make them accessible by the user and group "www" that lighttpd operates as:
<pre>
mkdir /var/log/lighttpd
touch /var/log/lighttpd/lighttpd.error.log
touch /var/log/lighttpd/lighttpd.access.log
chown www:www /var/log/lighttpd
chown www:www /var/log/lighttpd/lighttpd.error.log
chown www:www /var/log/lighttpd/lighttpd.access.log
</pre>
Edit lighttpd.conf to use the new directories and files as follows:
* @server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/lighttpd.error.log"@
* @accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd/lighttpd.access.log"@
Edit lighttpd.conf docroot:
* @server.document-root = "/usr/local/www/"@
