How-to Lighttpd, PHP, MySQL and Eaccelerator

**cichy** · 09-09-2010, 20:32

Ok so I've reinstalled lighttpd (was not worki with/without ssl) now http connections work like they should. Setting lan_httport to 8080 did the trick but i had to manually forward all incoming http request to 192.168.1.1:80 to make it work after changing server.port to 80. Still no connection thru ssl.

On internal ip (192.168.1.1) https works like a charm.

Right... so how do you have the regular iptables for forwarding the webserver?

iptables -t nat -A VSERVER -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8081 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.1:8081

?

Are you sure your modem is set up for forwarding https?

I've attached my post-firewall file, also in error log i found

Code:

2010-09-09 21:39:26: (connections.c.299) SSL: 1 error:1407609C:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:http request 
2010-09-09 21:40:12: (connections.c.299) SSL: 1 error:1407609C:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:http request

2010-09-09 21:42:27: (connections.c.299) SSL: 1 error:1407609C:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:http request

i think this is the problem.

that indeed is a problem...
I'm not sure if I'm getting this, but lighttpd says it fails to do https because the browser makes a http request?

The weird thing is, everything is set up according to the lighty wiki: http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects.../wiki/Docs:SSL

is your lighttpd package up to date?
my lighttpd -V output:

As You can see they are identical. Everything is up2date so no mistakes because of wrong software. I've also studied the site You gave here and without a doubt it should work but it ain't.

**cichy** · 29-12-2010, 23:24

Need some help.

I've updated PHP to latest version and recompiled eAccelerator from scratch but this didn't helped at all, fcgi process dies in a second after lighttpd restart.

Code:

Maybe some clues what to do?

download some fresh sources if you haven't already.
Also, try to delete the old eaccelerator first before you make install:

rm /opt/lib/php/extensions/eaccelerator.so

not sure, but over time ipkg packages changed quite a bit
In fact, they solved a lot of workarounds I wrote here in the how-to
so, I had to remove the workarounds again

if all else fails, you might want to try the ipkg version of eaccelerator

**cichy** · 30-12-2010, 00:05

I've tried the ipkg source version first but no effect still errors and php dies after a sec. Now I'm recompiling eaccelerator from scratch from latest svn build, maybe this will help. Also, strange thing, when i've disabled eaccelerator in eaccelerator.ini and disabled mod_fcgi in lighttpd.conf I can't launch any file from server i.e *.html file, I'm getting 403 - access denied.

huh thats weird

have you checked the extra config files in /opt/etc/lighttpd/conf.d ?

**cichy** · 30-12-2010, 00:12

Yep there're 2 files 1st default (empty) and 2nd fcgi with part from lighttpd.conf of mod_fcgi. Something like that:

Code:

fastcgi.server             = ( ".php" =>
                               ( "localhost" =>
                                 (
                                   "socket" => "/tmp/php-fcgi.sock",
                                   "bin-path" => "/opt/bin/php-fcgi",
				"max-procs" => 1,
                                   "bin-environment" => (
					"PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "3",
                                   	"PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "4000"
                                   )
                                 )
                               )
                            )

After deleting eaccelerator.so i could query php -i, and now it worked bot warned me about missing module of eaccelerator, maybe this recompiling helps

sounds promising

that fcgi file already configures your php, so you shouldn't reactivate it in the main config file (like in the old how to)

**cichy** · 30-12-2010, 00:25

Did something like this

Code:

# Configuration from other optware packages
#include_shell "cat /opt/etc/lighttpd/conf.d/*.conf"

So it uses part from .conf file without external modules/files. Now waiting to configure it once again because of missing module

Hope this will help

**cichy** · 30-12-2010, 01:54

And recompiling didn't helped at all, still no fcgi engine running and got this error:

Code:

(plugin.c.131) Cannot load plugin mod_fastcgi more than once, please fix your config (we may not accept such configs in future releases)

Maybe some clues how to solve this issue.

sounds like you have the conf.d fcgi script included, and uncommented it in the main config file.

so you need to uncomment the "mod_fastcgi" in the server.modules list.
because in the php-fcgi.conf file it says:

server.modules += ( "mod_fastcgi" )
