由于某些原因，我是不打算再用hiawatha了，可是apache httpd这种重量级的web server 我这等小站实在跑不起，而cherokee web server 体积又太大了。

故而只能使用之前不打算用的lighttpd了。下载源码包:
8 wget http://download.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/r ... 29.tar.bz2
9 wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.1.7.tar.gz

移除旧版本:
[root@PowerPC pub]# rm hiawatha*
rm: remove regular file `hiawatha-7.7.tar.gz'? y
[root@PowerPC pub]# rm nginx*
rm: remove regular file `nginx-1.1.6.tar.gz'? y
rm: remove regular file `nginx-1.1.7.tar.gz'? n

移除hiawatha:

find / -name "hiawatha*" -exec rm -rf {} \;

解压源码包，进入目录：
我的configure:
[root@PowerPC lighttpd-1.4.29]# ./configure \
> --prefix=/usr/local/lighttpd \
> --exec-prefix=/usr/local \
> --sysconfdir=/etc/sysconfig/lighttpd \
> --localstatedir=/var \
> --enable-lfs=no \
> --disable-ipv6 \
> --with-mysql=/usr/local/bin/mysql_config \
> --with-ldap \
> --with-attr \
> --with-pcre \
> --with-zlib \
> --with-bzip2

确认后，make && make install 编译安装。

安装完毕后，开始配置lighttpd.在源码包下的doc/config 目录下已经提供了常用的配置文件样例。只需要复制过来，再稍加编辑即可。

主要需要配置的是mysql_vhost_mod 和 fastcgi_mod 两个模块。分别对应conf.d 下的mysql_vhost.conf 和 fastcgi.conf 文件。

当然，首先得在modules.conf 里面把这两个模块载入进来。

先是mysql_vhost_mod,顾名思义，就是把虚拟主机的配置通过数据库(MySQL)来管理。

以root身份登录MySQL,创建新数据库。
create database lighttpd;

新建用户http，并授予读取权限。
grant select on lighttpd.* to 'http'@'localhost' identified by 'PASS';

进入lighttpd数据库，新建一张表，用户存放虚拟主机记录。

mysql> use lighttpd;
Database changed
mysql> show tables;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

mysql> CREATE TABLE domains (
    ->   domain varchar(64) not null primary key,
    ->   docroot varchar(128) not null
    -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

接下来，按照虚拟主机的域名和物理路径，依次插入数据。

结果见：
数据库/表列表：

mysql> show databases;

之后，就是在mysql_vhost_mod 里面设置好访问数据库的库名、地址、端口、用户名、密码、查询语句即可。见下：

mysql-vhost.db             = "lighttpd" 
mysql-vhost.user           = "http" 
mysql-vhost.pass           = "PASS" 
mysql-vhost.sock           = "/tmp/mysqld.sock" 
mysql-vhost.sql            = "SELECT docroot FROM domains WHERE domain='?';" 
mysql-vhost.hostname           = "localhost" 
mysql-vhost.port           = 3306

至此，mysql_vhost_mod 结束。下面是fastcgi_mod.

这个其实和nginx差不多，指明cgi的地址、端口、扩展名即可。
我的如下：

fastcgi.server = (
  ".php" =>
  ( "localhost" =>
   (
     "socket" => "/tmp/php.sock" # 我用的套接字，与地址+端口一致
   )
  )
)

一切完毕之后，启动lighttpd.
lighttpd -f /etc/sysconfig/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

至此，安装成功。
还有，本来想顺带升级下nginx的，由于有事，只好作罢~
