Configuring the Lighttpd web server
Preliminaries
- Gain root access.
- Setup the Optware Feed.
- Open the root file system to read/write with rootfs_open.
Install Lighttpd with PHP support
ipkg-opt install lighttpd php-fcgi
Tweak settings
vi /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
If you are going to run static HTML pages, there is no need to do this. If you want the ability to run PHP pages then this line must be uncommented:
"mod_fastcgi",
You may also want to adjust the port that the web server runs on. Sprint blocks port 80 and this package installs Lighttpd to run on port 8081 :
## bind to port (default: 80) server.port = 8081
Start the web server:
/opt/etc/init.d/S80lighttpd start
Add files to the web directory:
The default home directory lives at:
/opt/share/www/
Sample gps.php file that will load your current location via Google maps:
<?php
$gps = `luna-send -n 2 palm://com.palm.location/startTracking '{"appId": "ILovePalm", "subscribe": true}' 2>&1 | tail -1 | cut -d, -f4,5 | sed -r 's/[^-\.0-9,]//g'`;
?>

Other Considerations
Dynamic DNS
- Install the ez-ipupdate package
- Configure ez-ipupdate to update a DDNS service any time the EVDO IP changes
- CNAME record of primary domain - I have a CNAME record pointed to my DDNS record so that I always have the most up-to-date IP of my phone
Log files
- Need to keep an eye on the /opt/var/log/lighttpd/ log files and make sure they are rotated consistently
Startup Script
- Need to make an /etc/event.d script so that the Lighttpd service starts up after each reboot
