Sorry
In the beginning of the main (lighttpd.conf) config file.
Just make sure you don't include the php-fcgi module twice

Take a look at my lighttpd.conf file, maybe I'm doing something wrong. Also when i type php -i in console it gives me eaccelerator error.

PHP Fatal error:  [eAccelerator] eAccelerator 0.9.6.1 can not be loaded twice in Unknown on line 0

When I disable fcgi support in conf file i can view html files but that's all.

these are the fixed workarounds I was talking about
the current eAccelerator ipkg package (and my how-to as well) adds a seperate config file: /opt/etc/php.d/eaccelerator.ini

so if you added that, either way you should remove the config file, or delete the part about eAccelerator in /opt/etc/php.ini

This helped, deleting from php.ini I mean. Maybe tutorial should be updated with this info

Well I can't keep all the changed things in the how-to... I mean, it would make things more complicated to follow I think

[cichy]

Probably Yes, either way thanks for your help

I installed lighttpd and whenever I start it, immediately closes without any warnings. If I type lighttpd without any option :

[admin@WL-00221561958C root]$ lighttpd
2011-06-11 22:55:25: (server.c.588) No configuration available. Try using -f option.

so its running. I've tried the original config file and the same thing. I've even deliberately inserted a mistake in the config file and it reported the problem correctly.

So why isn't the lighttpd process keep running ?

edit: Oh .. and I did use lighttpd successfully in the past on the same setup.

uhm... according to that line it's not running, in fact it stops because you didn't supply a configuration file which is done by using the -f parameter

/opt/sbin/lighttpd -f /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

should do the trick

[expert_vision]

No .. it didn't start even with the config file.
Anyway I looked in the error.log and found this

2011-06-11 23:40:14: (log.c.166) server started 
2011-06-11 23:40:14: (fdevent_linux_sysepoll.c.134) epoll_create failed (Function not implemented), try to set server.event-handler = "poll" or "select"
2011-06-11 23:40:14: (fdevent.c.41) event-handler linux-sysepoll failed, try to set server.event-handler = "poll" or "select"
2011-06-11 23:40:14: (server.c.1112) fdevent_init failed

I did just that in the config file and
lighttpd server is running.

I have no idea what server.event-handler = "poll" is .. and I don't think I want to know.

uhm... the how-to tells you to do so:

This is for fixing the excluded e-poll:

line 51: change

# server.event-handler = "freebsd-kqueue" # needed on OS X

into

server.event-handler = "poll" # needed on OS X

back in the days epoll was included in the ipkg package, not anymore tho... and since our firmware doesn't have it we need poll
You don't want to know what it's for? like it would be some kind of dirty thing
To explain it in short: it changes the way how an incoming web-request is trown at the event-handler. epoll is supposed to be more efficient, but it only shows a real difference when your webserver is accessed a lot

I know it is in the how-to, but since I used lighttpd before without epoll, I thought it wasn't mandatory, and apparently that changed in the new version.
And hey .. thanks for still supporting this how-to!

Yeah well, need to keep the fans happy right

I tried to install mysql5 from the ipkg feed today...
after some user rights stuff I managed to get it running perfectly fine, the downside however is that the php-mysql plugin doesn't seem to be compatible with the newer mysql5

so no mysql5 support in this how-to for now

Hi,

first of all, great tutorial, easy to follow and set-up, everything working fine.

I just want to ask if there is a way to run php 5.3 on wl500gp. Is there a guide to do this? I am not very skilled in unix systems
Additionaly, is it yet possible to run mysql 5 on this box?

I need this environment as the tool I am trying to install has these requirements.

Thanks
