== Lighttpd on FreeBSD ==
(If you don't want PHP skip step 2)
=== Step 1. Verify ports installation ===
You should have a recent ports tree installed on your system. If you have not updated your ports tree recently, please do so before continuing. If you do not have a ports tree installed, you can use the portsnap utility to install or update it. I find this to be an extreemly quick way (under 15 minutes on a decent broadband connection) to install the full ports tree. And you don't even have to worry about cvsup or setting up configuration files.
Download most recent ports snapshot:
{{{
$ sudo portsnap fetch
or
# portsnap fetch
}}}

=== Step 2. Install PHP 5 ===
{{{
cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
$ sudo make config
or
# make config
}}}
Verify that CGI and FastCGI are checked (default), (deafult), and you want to enable REDIRECT as well. Choose ok. (Perhaps discard-path support as well?)
Now to compile and install it:
{{{
$ sudo make install clean
or
# make install clean
}}}
=== Step 3. Install lighttpd ===
{{{
cd /usr/ports/www/lighttpd
$ sudo make config
or
# make config
}}}
Verify whatever options you want for your installation of lighttpd.
Now to compile and install it:
{{{
$ sudo make install clean
or
# make install clean
}}}
=== Step 4. Post install configuration ===
