Lighttpd is said that much lighter that Apache. I tried to set it up for flv and H.264 streaming. The configuration is relatively easy.<\/p>\n
1. Download lighttpd-1.4.29.tar.gz<\/p>\n
2. Download lighttpd-1.4.18_mod_h264_streaming-2.2.0.tar.gz
\n (This is the patch for mod_h264)<\/p>\n
3. Open tar ball of lighttpd
\n tar zxvf lighttpd-1.4.29.tar.gz<\/p>\n
4. Patch h264-mod
\n mv lighttpd-1.4.29 lighttpd-1.4.18
\n tar zxvf lighttpd-1.4.18_mod_h264_streaming-2.2.0.tar.gz<\/p>\n
5. config \/etc\/lighttpd.conf
\n basic setup:<\/p>\n
server.port = 80
\n server.username = “lighttpd”
\n server.groupname = “lighttpd”
\n server.document-root = “\/var\/www”
\n server.tag = “lighttpd”
\n server.pid-file = “\/var\/run\/lighttpd.pid”
\n server.errorlog = “\/var\/log\/lighttpd\/error.log”
\n include “conf.d\/access_log.conf”
\n index-file.names += (
\n “index.html”, “index.htm”, “index.php”
\n )
\n include “conf.d\/mime.conf”<\/p>\n
6. module.conf
\n server.modules = (
\n “mod_access”,
\n “mod_fastcgi”,
\n “mod_h264_streaming”,
\n “mod_flv_streaming”,
\n “mod_rewrite”,
\n “mod_auth”,
\n )
\n h264-streaming.extensions = ( “.mp4” )
\n flv-streaming.extensions = ( “.flv” ) <\/p>\n
7. Setup vhost
\n There’re many samples out there for this part already, so I won’t write any here.<\/p>\n
8. FCGI
\n I had FCGI installed in advance. To have lighttpd uses FCGI, edit<\/p>\n
conf.d\/fastcgi.conf <\/p>\n
fastcgi.server = (
\n “.php” =>
\n (( “host” => “127.0.0.1”,
\n “port” => 81,
\n “bin-path” => “\/usr\/local\/bin\/php”
\n )),
\n )
\n9. restart lighttpd
\n Then you can see the lighttpd started fcgi process<\/p>\n
10. Use jwplayer
\n download mediaplayer.zip
\n unzip it and copy “jwplayer.js” and “player.swf” to a folder under docroot of the site
\n check the “JW Player Quick Start Guide.pdf” in the zip file for how to use javascript to embed jwplayer to stream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
