This page explain how to build a complete webserver using a Foxboard with CrisOs.

Before start you should install CrisOs on yuor Foxboard and login inside it.

Now, you can install lighttpd web server and php4 with this command:

opkg install lighttpd-mod-fastcgi php4-fastcgi

This operation install a lot of package and most important a webserver lighttpd and a fastgci version of php4.

You can easy configure your new http server editing /etc/lighttpd.conf enable mod-fastcgi and configure fastgci interpreter for php file.
Here you can download the configuration file with proposed changes: lighttpd.conf

Now, you need to disable default http daemon (busybox buildin) and enable lighhtpd at boot time; you can do this using:

/etc/init.d/httpd disable
/etc/init.d/lighttpd enable

Start webserver a made first test:

/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" > /www/index.php
