+README.SLACKWARE For lighttpd  (20090217)
+
+lighttpd can be started and stopped through the initialization script that 
+is provided:
+  /etc/rc.d/rc.lighttpd start
+  /etc/rc.d/rc.lighttpd stop
+
+If you would like to start lighttpd automatically when the system
+is booted, add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.lighttpd ]; then
+    /etc/rc.d/rc.lighttpd start
+  fi
+
+Conversely, add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown
+to stop lighttpd on system shutdown.
+  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.lighttpd ]; then
+    /etc/rc.d/rc.lighttpd stop
+  fi
+
+* PHP users:  
+Slackware's default php package is meant to work with 
+httpd(apache).  It works fine with lighttpd with a couple of tweaks.  
+
+1) Copy the php.ini from /etc/httpd to /etc/lighttpd
+
+2) Uncomment mod_fastcgi from the modules section of 
+   /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf.
+
+3) Rework the fastcgi section of /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf to the 
+   following (or just copy this in below the existing commented out
+   fastcgi config):
+
+   fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
+                      ( "localhost" =>
+                        (
+                          "socket" => "/var/run/lighttpd/php-fastcgi.socket",
+                          "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi -c /etc/lighttpd/php.ini"
+                        )
+                      )
+                    )
+
+4) Change the group of /var/lib/php from "apache" to "lighttpd".
+   Otherwise, php won't be able to use $_SESSION.
