Lighttpd

Lighttpd is a lightweight web server that is designed for use in high performance environments. However, because it has a relatively low memory footprint and has been optimized to make efficient use of the available resources, it also works well on a low power system such as the Raspberry Pi.

1. Install lighthttpd:

# apt-get install lighttpd

2. Install cgi-php:

# apt-get install php5-cgi

3. Modify the lighttp server config to link php files to the php5-cgi.

# nano /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

In the area marked server.modules we need to add the following highlighted line to the file

server.modules = (

        "mod_access",

        "mod_alias",

        "mod_compress",

        "mod_redirect",

        "mod_fastcgi",

       "mod_rewrite", )

And at the bottom of the file we need to add the following text:

fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => ((

                  "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi",

                  "socket" => "/tmp/php.socket"

              )))

4. Restart lighttpd service:

# service lighttpd restart

5. Add permission of execution to script xbeeo2 for the user www-data with visudo. The website is host in "/var/www" directory.

www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /var/www/resources/xbeeo2
