Lighttpd en Centos 5.2

Para instalar Lighttpd en CentOS 5.2 hay que instalar primero ciertos paquetes de desarrollo:

yum install bzip2-devel zlib-devel pcre-devel

Buscamos cuál es la última versión disponible y la descargamos de http://www.lighttpd.net/download

Desempaquetamos en función del fichero descargado:

tar zxvf lighttpd-1.4.22.tgz

o

tar jxvf lighttpd-1.4.22.tar.bz2

Después ejecutamos configure:

./configure --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/usr/com --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-opens

Tras esto compilamos:

make

E instalamos:

su -
make install

Con esto ya tendríamos Lighttpd instalado en nuestro sistema. Ahora vamos con la configuración básica.

Creamos un usuario:

adduser -s /sbin/nologin lighttpd

Creamos un directorio y fichero de configuración:

mkdir /etc/lighttpd
cd /etc/lighttpd
vi lighttpd.conf

Dentro del fichero metemos:

server.modules = (

Creamos el fichero /etc/sysconfig/lighttpd con los parámetros de arranque:

LIGHTTPD_CONF_PATH=/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Creamos un fichero de arranque /etc/init.d/lighttpd:

#!/bin/sh

RETVAL=$?

echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|condrestart|reload|status}"

esac
exit $RETVAL

Creamos los directorios necesarios y asignamos permisos:

mkdir -p /var/log/lighttpd
mkdir -p /tmp/lighttpd/cache/compress/
chown lighttpd:lighttpd /var/log/lighttpd
chown lighttpd:lighttpd /tmp/lighttpd/cache/compress/
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/lighttpd

Si está arrancado paramos el apache:

chkconfig httpd off
/etc/init.d/httpd stop

Y arrancamos el Lighhtpd

chkconfig --add lighttpd
chkconfig lighttpd on
/etc/init.d/lighttpd start
