<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
To make PHP work with lighttpd web server, we'll need to follow the following methods respect to the distribution we are running.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; letter-spacing: -1px; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><u>On CentOS 7</u></span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
First of all, we'll need to edit our php configuration ie /etc/php.ini and uncomment a line <strong>cgi.fix_pathinfo=1</strong> using a text editor.</div>
<div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"><span style="color: white;"># nano /etc/</span><span style="color: lime;">php.ini</span></span></span></pre>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
After its done, we'll need to change the ownership of PHP-FPM process from apache to lightpd. To do so, we'll need to open the configuration file /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf using a text editor.</div>
<div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"><span style="color: white;"># nano /etc/php-fpm.d/</span><span style="color: lime;">www.conf</span></span></span></pre>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
Then, we'll append the file with the following configurations.</div>
<div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"><span style="color: white;">user = </span><span style="color: lime;">lighttpd</span><span style="color: white;">

</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
Once done, we'll need to save the file and exit the text editor. Then, we'll need to include fastcgi module from /etc/lighttpd/modules.conf configuration file.</div>
<div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"><span style="color: white;"># nano /etc/lighttpd/</span><span style="color: lime;">modules.conf</span></span></span></pre>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
Then, we'll need to uncomment the following line by removing # from it.</div>
<div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"><span style="color: lime;">include </span><span style="color: white;">"conf.d/fastcgi.conf"</span></span></span></pre>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
At last, we'll need to configure our fastcgi configuration file using our favorite text editor.</div>
<div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"><span style="color: white;"># nano /etc/</span><span style="color: lime;">lighttpd/conf.d</span><span style="color: white;">/fastcgi.conf</span></span></span></pre>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
Then, we'll need to add the following lines at the end of the file.</div>
<div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"><span style="color: lime;">fastcgi.server</span><span style="color: white;"> += ( ".php" =>

)</span></span></span></pre>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
After its done, we'll save the file and exit the text editor.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; letter-spacing: -1px; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><u>On Ubuntu 15.04</u></span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
To enable fastcgi with lighttpd web server, we'll simply need to execute the following commands.</div>
<div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"><span style="color: white;"># lighttpd-enable-mod </span><span style="color: lime;">fastcgi</span><span style="color: white;">

Enabling fastcgi: ok
Run /etc/init.d/lighttpd force-reload to enable changes

# lighttpd-enable-mod fastcgi-php

</span><span style="color: lime;">Enabling fastcgi-php: ok
</span><span style="color: white;">Run /etc/init.d/lighttpd force-reload to enable changes</span></span></span></pre>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
Then, we'll reload our lighttpd by running the following command.</div>
<div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"><span style="color: white;"># systemctl force-reload </span><span style="color: lime;">lighttpd</span></span></span></pre>
</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt; letter-spacing: -1px; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">
<u><span style="color: #0b5394;">Testing if PHP is working</span></u></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
In order to see if PHP is working as expected or not, we'll need to create a new php file under the webroot of our lighttpd web server. Here, in this tutorial we have /var/www/html in Ubuntu and /srv/www/htdocs in CentOS as the default webroot so, we'll create a info.php file under it using a text editor.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
<strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">On CentOS 7</span></strong></div>
<div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"># nano  /var/www/info.php</span></span></pre>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
<strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">On Ubuntu 15.04</span></strong></div>
<div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"><span style="color: white;"># nano /srv/www/htdocs/</span><span style="color: lime;">info</span><span style="color: white;">.php</span></span></span></pre>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
Then, we'll simply add the following line into the file.</div>
<div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: white;"><?php </span><span style="color: lime;">phpinfo</span><span style="color: white;">(); ?></span></span></span></pre>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
Once done, we'll simply save the file and exit from the text editor.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
Now, we'll open our running lighttpd using its ip address or domain name with the <b>info.php</b> file path as http://lighttpd.hackthesec.co.in/info.php. after that you can see the <b>phpinfo </b>page</div>
