Lighttpd

I hope somebody might also find this useful as a init script for several fcgi php daemons with individual user permissions as described [http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/HowToSetupFastCgiIndividualPermissions here]

1. BEGIN INIT INFO

1. Provides: FastCGI servers for PHP
2. Required-Start: networking
3. Required-Stop: networking
4. Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
5. Default-Stop: S 0 1 6
6. Short-Description: Start PHP FastCGI servers.
7. Description: PHP can be started with lighttpd's spawn-fcgi binary to
8. get individual user permisions. This must be done
9. for each normal user which wants to have PHP support.

1. List of user which need own PHP-Fcgi processes
2. e.g. FCGI_USER_LIST="user1 user2 user3"
   FCGI_USER_LIST=""

1. Set the socket and pid directory and make sure it exists
   RUNFILES_PATH=/var/run/php-fcgi
   mkdir -p $RUNFILES_PATH

FCGI_PROGRAM="/usr/bin/php-cgi"
FCGI_WEB_SERVER_ADDRS="127.0.0.1"
PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=2
PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=1000

ALLOWED_ENV="PATH USER"
