Lighttpd and PHP on the BeagleBone

First of all, i originally found this information here and here, but the site seems down right now so i decided to put the information here aswell (with some modifications).

First of all i disable the web services:

systemctl disable cloud9.service
systemctl disable bone101.service
systemctl disable gateone.service


Then i install the required php packages:

opkg install php php-cgi php-cli
opkg install lighttpd lighttpd-module-fastcgi


Edit the lighttpd config file located at /etc/lighttpd.conf to enable fast-cgi:
Locate the server.modues line and uncomment mod_fastcgi:

Then further down the file is the fastcgi.server configuration, uncomment the lines to look something like this:

Make sure the path for php-cgi is correct!
Save the file and restart the lighted server:
/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

Now, lets try if it works.
Create a new php file in /www/pages called index.php:


Finally, point your browser to the adress of your beaglebone and the PHP info page should show.

    Can I use BeagleBone Black computer for day to day development work in the LAMP environment? Is there any performance issue associated with this computer? Have you ever installed ArchLinuxARM on this computer? Please suggest me soon.
