h1. InstallFromSource 

 h2. Get the source 

 You can either use a release from http://www.lighttpd.net/download or compile from svn: 
 * Using a release/snapshot: 
   Extract the tar ball and enter the new directory: 
   <pre> 
 tar -xf lighttpd-1.4.XXX.tar.gz 
 cd lighttpd-1.4.XXX 
 </pre> 
 * svn (you will need autoconf and automake for this): 
   First time: 
   <pre> 
 svn checkout svn://svn.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/branches/lighttpd-1.4.x/ 
 cd lighttpd-1.4.x 
 ./autogen.sh 
 </pre> 
   Next time from @lighttpd-1.4.x/@: 
   <pre> 
 svn update 
 ./autogen.sh 
 </pre> 

 h3. lighttpd 1.5 (development branch) 

 lighttpd 1.5 is not released yet, but you may checkout the source from: 
 <pre> 
 svn checkout svn://svn.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/trunk/ 
 cd trunk 
 ./autogen.sh 
 </pre> 

 See [[DevelSubversion]] and [[Devel]]. 

 h2. Install dependencies 

 Depending on which features you want, you need other libraries; you will want at least libpcre and zlib, for more see [[OptionalLibraries]]. 
 On most systems you need to install the development version of the library packages, the library itself won't be enough! 

 On debian you can also use apt-get to install all build dependencies: 
 <pre> 
 apt-get build-dep lighttpd 
 </pre> 

 Here is the list used for the debian packages (without the packaging parts): libssl-dev, zlib1g-dev, libbz2-dev, libattr1-dev, libpcre3-dev, libmysqlclient15-dev, libfam-dev, libldap2-dev, libfcgi-dev, libgdbm-dev, libmemcache-dev, liblua5.1-0-dev, pkg-config, uuid-dev, libsqlite3-dev, libxml2-dev, libkrb5-dev. 

 h2. Configure 

 Now you have to use the @./configure@ script - there is a help option for it: 
 <pre> 
 ./configure --help 
 </pre> 

 Don't forget to set the @--prefix@ if you don't want to install in /usr/local. 

 h2. Build 

 If the configure step was successful, you can now build it: 
 <pre> 
 make 
 </pre> 

 h2. Install 

 After a successful build you may install the package. This is not needed, but you will have to give lighttpd the correct location of the modules if you don't (see ./lighttpd -h). 
 As you hopefully didn't use root to build the package, you probably have now to get root access: 
 <pre> 
 su make install 
 </pre> 

 h2. Init script 

 The init-script that is shipped with the source-tarball is meant to be run on a LSB conforming platform like SuSE, Fedora or Debian. 
 For 1.4.x versions from r2742/1.4.27 onwords , use doc/initscripts/ instead of doc/ in the commands below. 

 <pre> 
 sed -e 's/FOO/lighttpd/g' doc/initscripts/rc.lighttpd doc/rc.lighttpd > /etc/init.d/lighttpd 
 chmod a+rx /etc/init.d/lighttpd 
 cp -p doc/initscripts/sysconfig.lighttpd doc/sysconfig.lighttpd /etc/sysconfig/lighttpd 
 mkdir -p /etc/lighttpd 

 # < 1.4.27 
 install -Dp ./doc/lighttpd.conf /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf 

 # > 1.4.28 
 cp -R doc/config/conf.d/ doc/config/*.conf doc/config/vhosts.d/ /etc/lighttpd/ -a doc/config /etc/lighttpd 

 chkconfig lighttpd on 
 </pre> 

 If you're running *CentOS* or *RHEL* you might need to change the first line to this 
 <pre> 
 sed -e 's/FOO/lighttpd/g' doc/initscripts/rc.lighttpd.redhat doc/rc.lighttpd.redhat > /etc/init.d/lighttpd 
 </pre> 

 In *Debian* / *Ubuntu* you use update-rc.d rather than chkconfig: 
 <pre> 
 update-rc.d lighttpd defaults 
 </pre> 

 h2. Supervise 

 As an alternative to init scripts you can setup a "supervised" lighttpd with daemontools or runit, see [[LighttpdUnderSupervise]]
