Instalasi Lighttpd

Sumber: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-lighttpd-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-ubuntu-9.10

Lighttpd adalah web server yang aman, cepat dan comply yang di rancang untuk lingkungan yang sangat membutuhkan kecepatan. Tutorial ini akan memperlihatkan bagaimana menginstalasi Lighttpd di Server Ubuntu dengan dukungan PHP5 dan MySQL.

Catatan Awal

Pada tutorial ini akan digunakan

hostname   server1.example.com
IP address 192.168.0.100

Dalam tutorial ini kita perlu login sebagai root, pastikan menjalankan perintah

sudo su

Instalasi MySQL

Melalui perintah

aptitude install mysql-server mysql-client

Disini kita akan di tanya password root,

New password for the MySQL "root" user: passwordrootanda
Repeat password for the MySQL "root" user: passwordrootanda

==Instalasi

3 Installing Lighttpd

Lighttpd is available as an Ubuntu package, therefore we can install it like this:

aptitude install lighttpd

Now direct your browser to http://192.168.0.100, and you should see the Lighttpd placeholder page:

Lighttpd's default document root is /var/www on Ubuntu, and the configuration file is /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf. Additional configurations are stored in files in the /etc/lighttpd/conf-available directory - these configurations can be enabled with the lighttpd-enable-mod command which creates a symlink from the /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled directory to the appropriate configuration file in /etc/lighttpd/conf-available. You can disable configurations with the lighttpd-disable-mod command.

4 Installing PHP5

We can make PHP5 work in Lighttpd through FastCGI. Fortunately, Ubuntu provides a FastCGI-enabled PHP5 package which we install like this:

aptitude install php5-cgi

Konfigurasi Lighttpd dan PHP5

To enable PHP5 in Lighttpd, we must modify /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini and add the line cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 right at the end of the file:

vi /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini

[...] cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1

To enable the fastcgi configuration (which is stored in /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/10-fastcgi.conf), run the following command:

lighttpd-enable-mod fastcgi

This creates a symlink /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/10-fastcgi.conf which points to /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/10-fastcgi.conf:

ls -l /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled

root@server1:~# ls -l /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 2009-11-13 17:36 10-fastcgi.conf -> /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/10-fastcgi.conf root@server1:~#

Then we reload Lighttpd:

/etc/init.d/lighttpd force-reload

6 Testing PHP5 / Getting Details About Your PHP5 Installation

The document root of the default web site is /var/www. We will now create a small PHP file (info.php) in that directory and call it in a browser. The file will display lots of useful details about our PHP installation, such as the installed PHP version.

vi /var/www/info.php

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Now we call that file in a browser (e.g. http://192.168.0.100/info.php):

As you see, PHP5 is working, and it's working through FastCGI, as shown in the Server API line. If you scroll further down, you will see all modules that are already enabled in PHP5. MySQL is not listed there which means we don't have MySQL support in PHP5 yet.

7 Getting MySQL Support In PHP5

To get MySQL support in PHP, we can install the php5-mysql package. It's a good idea to install some other PHP5 modules as well as you might need them for your applications. You can search for available PHP5 modules like this:

aptitude search php5
