lighttpd question (PHP)
 

Hey there, i just wanted to set on a small html/php webserver on my n900, so i can edit/watch php/hmtl files everywhere.
I installed lighttpd and it works great for html files, but if i put a index.php file in wwwPHP, i just get a "500 - Internal Server Error" in my browser..i heard that i need a php-cgi, but i never found it (google and this forum..)
What do i need to "run" php files and where can i find it?
I hope someone can help me :/

You need e.g. mod_fastcgi.

No idea whether any one has tried to compile it for Maemo5.

Re: lighttpd question (PHP)
 

so nobody have installed a php webserver on his n900 yet? :/
could any "bored" programmer port the fastcgi module please? :x

lets try a push :/

I have successfully installed php, apache and mysql in easy debian. I would prefer to use lighttpd and sqlite and php directly from maemo. Hopefully, we can get php installed outside of easy debian. Any updates?

I installed PHP (cgi/cli/sqlite/libcURL) with lighthttpd and also received the same issues. I fixed them with a few changes.

I uninstalled the broken(?) sqlite and libcURL modules. I'll mess with them later.

Create a directory with the proper permissions:

$mkdir /home/user/public_html
$chmod 644 /home/user/public_html

I had to edit /etc/lighttpd.conf as root:

Change this line to your newly created directory:

server.document-root = "/home/user/public_html/"

Change the CGI line to:

cgi.assign = ( ".pl" => "/usr/bin/perl", ".cgi" => "/usr/bin/perl", ".php" => "/usr/bin/php" )

Then stop/start the daemon:

#/etc/init.d/lighttpd stop
#/etc/init.d/lighttpd start

Then I uninstalled the PHP modules throwing errors (sqlite and libcURL) and deleted the .ini files inside of /etc/php5/conf.d

I then created a simple Hello World sorta PHP file in my public_html/ and it worked.
