- 创建开发子目录 dev/，下载 Lighttpd 源代码并解压到其下，最新 Lighttpd 稳定版代码为 lighttpd-1.4.19：
$ mkdir dev $ cd dev $ wget http://www.lighttpd.net/download/lighttpd-1.4.19.tar.bz2 $ tar xjf lighttpd-1.4.19.tar.bz2 $ cd lighttpd-1.4.19
- 安装必要的开发包：
$ ports/bzip2-devel
- 编译安装(如果没有设置sudo,需要su为root用户)：
$ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install
安装完成后 lighttpd 就被安装到了
/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd这个位置上。 - 新建 lighttpd 配置文件
/usr/local/etc/lighttpd.conf（路径随意，lighttpd 启动时指定正确的配置文件路径即可），内容如下：server.document-root = "/home/share/htdocs/lighttpd" server.port = 7500 server.username= "nobody" server.groupname = "nobody" server.modules = ( "mod_access", "mod_accesslog" ) # performance settings server.max-worker = 8 server.max-fds = 2048 server.max-connections = 1024 # no keep-alive permitted server.max-keep-alive-requests=0 # specify possible index files for root directory index-file.names = ( "index.html", "index.htm" ) # mimetype mapping mimetype.assign = ( ".html" => "text/html", ".htm" => "text/html", # default mime type "" => "application/octet-stream", ) # error log file path server.errorlog = "/tmp/error" # access log file path accesslog.filename = "/tmp/access" # WebDAV options webdav.activate = "enable" webdav.is-readonly = "disable" - 启动 lighttpd：
$ sudo /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /usr/local/etc/lighttpd.conf
