I’ve built .deb packages of lighttpd 1.5.0-SVN r1992 for Debian Sarge. They’re based off the latest packages in testing, upgraded to 1.5.0. The only thing missing is mod_mysql_vhost, as I don’t have mySQL 5.0 installed at the moment. This server already runs lighty 1.5.0, so the fact that you’re reading this page is the best proof that it works. ;)
The packages are available for download here.
(PS: I know, I know, what I should do is upgrade to Etch altogether…)
UPDATE (20070921): new release with linux-aio-sendfile support. You’ll need the libaio port too.



















Hi,
I don’t get it to work on Debian Etch.
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of lighttpd:
lighttpd depends on libfcgi0; however:
Package libfcgi0 is not installed.
lighttpd depends on liblua5.1-0; however:
Package liblua5.1-0 is not installed.
lighttpd depends on libssl0.9.7; however:
Package libssl0.9.7 is not installed.
lighttpd depends on libterm-readline-perl-perl; however:
Package libterm-readline-perl-perl is not installed.
dpkg: error processing lighttpd (–install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
lighttpd
Any idea how to resolve that issue?
You need to install those packages too using apt-get. If you’ve just downloaded my .deb and tried to install it with dpkg, dpkg doesn’t download and install all the dependecies for you.
