Webserver configuration

PHP
PHP 5.2 or higher is recommended.

• Apache PHP config:
  
  ./configure \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--enable-mbstring \
--with-gd \
--with-curl \
--with-jpeg-dir \
--with-bz2 \
--with-zlib \
--with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

  Apache Virtual Host Configuration
  Enable the virtual host config file in /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf by uncommenting it:

  # Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

  Edit /usr/local/apache2/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf and add an entry for your new Drupal install:

  <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.domain.com
    #ServerAlias *.domain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/websites/projectname/htdocs/drupal-7.17

    <Directory /var/websites/projectname/htdocs/drupal-7.17>
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/websites/projectname/logs/error_log
  CustomLog /var/websites/projectname/logs/access_log combined
</VirtualHost>

• Lighttpd PHP config:
  
  ./configure \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--enable-mbstring \
--with-gd \
--with-curl \
--with-jpeg-dir \
--with-bz2 \
--with-zlib \
--with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

  Lighttpd configuration
  Edit /service/lighttpd/root/sites/sitename.conf:

  var.basedir = "/var/websites/sitename/"
  server.document-root = basedir + "htdocs/drupal-7.17"

  # http://drupal.org/node/43782 - Clean URLs with Lighttpd
url.rewrite-if-not-file = (
  "^/system/test/(.*)$" => "/index.php?q=system/test/$1",
  "^/([^.?]*)\?(.*)$" => "/index.php?q=$1&$2",
  "^\/([^\?]*)\?(.*)$" => "/index.php?q=$1&$2",
  "^\/(.*)$" => "/index.php?q=$1",
)
accesslog.filename = basedir + "logs/access_log"

  Add the VirtualHost config file to /service/lighttpd/root/lighttpd.conf:

  $HTTP["host"] == "www.sitename.com" {
  include "sites/sitename.conf"
}
