As you know, I change my website look every once in a while. This time however, it’s different.
My last theme was ripped by someone else, so I had to change … hehe.
I hope you like the new look. It’s only tempoary, as I am waiting for another theme. But that’s something you’ll see in a few weeks.
PS: I also upgraded my WordPress install.
Today’s tutorial is going to explain how to install Lighttpd; PHP5 and MySQL on your FlexServ (RPS) on Debian Etch 4.0.
This is an easy tutorial, and definetly a good place to start.
1. Update the repositories and your system
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
2. Install lighttpd
apt-get install lighttpd
3. Install PHP5-CGI
apt-get install php5-cgi
4. Configure lighttpd to use PHP5-CGI
Modify the php.ini:
vi /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini
Add the following line to it at the end:
cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1
Now you need to edit the lighttpd.conf
vi /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
Add the following at the top (in the list):
“mod_fastcgi”,
Then this at the bottom:
fastcgi.server = ( “.php” => ((
“bin-path” => “/usr/bin/php5-cgi”,
“socket” => “/tmp/php.socket”
)))
5. Install and configure MySQL
Title says it all:
apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client php5-mysql
Then you should also set a password for the MySQL User root:
mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword
6. Restart your lighttpd to apply the changes
/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
7. Test it
Ok, the last step is to test it. For that create a new .php file:
vi /var/www/info.php
Add the following text to it:
<?
php phpinfo();
?>
Then check the result by accessing the page in your Webbrowser: http://fs00000.flosoft-servers.net/info.php
If that works, you can enjoy your new Webserver!
Hey,
just wanted to say, happy new year!
In the next few hours, you’ll also find some more tutorials for the Flosoft.biz FlexServ. If you have any request for tutorials, just post them here.
