Install Lighttpd web server with PHP5 support using MySQL backend

Lighttpd is a web server which is designed to be secure, fast, standards-compliant, and flexible while being optimized for speed-critical environments. Its low memory footprint (compared to other web servers), light CPU load and its speed goals make lighttpd suitable for servers that are suffering load problems, or for serving static media separately from dynamic content. lighttpd is free software / open source, and is distributed under the BSD license.

In this tutorial you will be guided through the installation process and to configure the web server to use MySQL backend.
