#Setting up Lighttpd for PHP-fpm ## Use flags Recommended USE Flags for lighttpd - put these in `/etc/portage/package.use` rather than `/etc/make.conf` to make this easier to change if need be. `fastcgi -php threads openssl` To install, just do `emerge lighttpd` ## Config To use lighttpd with php-fpm, we'll need to modify `/etc/lighttpd/mod_fastcgi.conf` to look like so: server.modules += ("mod_fastcgi") fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => ( "localhost" => ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => "9000" ) ) ) To make adding/editing websites easier, I recommend creating a `/etc/lighttpd/sites.conf` file, and including it in the `/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf` file.
