To enable php on lighttpd, is very simple.
The facility is geared to ubuntu -. http://ubuntu.com , but in other distributions, is basically the same thing
We use the fastcgi- http://www.fastcgi.com/ for this connection between the two. Remembering that php has to be CGI.
If you have not yet installed lighttpd can follow a tutorial I did on this installation here .
Knowing more lighttpd
Assuming that you already have lighttpd installed and running, as well as php-cgi, let’s continue. Lighttpd has two commands for installing modules, which greatly facilitate the life of anyone, they are the lighttpd-enable-mod and lighttpd-disable-mod , respectively, to enable and disable modules.
To find out which modules are available for activation with the command just type the command, you will have the list of possibilities.

Installing the module in lighttpd
After entering the command, you simply enter the module to which you want to install.
Or in our case, as we have already sure that we will install, just enter the following command in the terminal.
fastcgi lighty-enable-mod lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
Remember to do this as root , but will not do anything.
Finally, reload the settings of lighttpd, so they take effect
/etc/init.d/lighttpd reload
or
service lighttpd reload
To test create a simple php in the server folder, commonly /var/www with the code:
echo "" > /var/www/info.php
And go http://localhost/info.php
