* Config lighthttpd:
  - Create a config file into /etc/lighthttpd/conf.d/ like this one:
server.document-root        = "/var/www/lighttpd/myWebAppName"
socket_dir                  = "/tmp/"
server.port                 = 80
server.username             = "lighttpd" 
server.groupname            = "lighttpd"
server.tag                  = "Server"
server.pid-file             = "/var/run/lighttpd.pid"
server.errorlog             = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"
accesslog.filename          = "/var/log/lighttpd/access.log"
server.modules              += ( "mod_fastcgi" )
#server.bind = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" 

fastcgi.server =    ( 
                        "/fastcgi/myWebAppName" =>  ((
                                        "bin-path"      => "/var/www/cgi-bin/myWebAppName.fcgi",
                                        "max-procs"     => 1,
                                        "socket"        => socket_dir + "myWebAppName.socket",
                                        "check-local"   => "disable",
                                                    ))
                    )
 
* Test this config file
 $ lighthttpd -t -f /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/myWebAppName.conf

* Create lighttpd user if he did not exist
 $ su -c "useradd lighttpd"
 $ su -c "passwd lighttpd"
 $ chown -R /var/www/lighttpd
 $ chown -R /var/log/lighttpd

Build your web application
--------------------------
 $ ldc2 myWebApp.d -L-lfcgi -L-lDFastCGI -I=/usr/local/include/DFastCGI

 $ su -c "install -o lighthttpd myWebApp /var/www/cgi-bin/myWebAppName.fcgi"

* Run your server
 $ lighttpd -D -f /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/myWebAppName.conf


Now open with your browser  to: 127.0.0.1/fastcgi/myWebAppName

Enjoy :-)
