lighttpd forum lighty > PHP runtime config?

I am migrating from Apache and we use a lot of custom frameworks. I need 
to be able to define an include_path for PHP on a per vhost basis. In 
Apache I would use the php_value or php_flag directives in the vhost 
definition seeing that I was using the Apache module. However, what is 
the equivalent for FastCGI? I tried putting a php.ini in the root of my 
vhost's directory with my include_path value, but it seems it is not 
being parsed. Any ideas?

Try starting PHP with the "-c" commandline param, passing the path to 
your PHP.ini.

Try this within you $HTTP["host"] conditional:
"bin-path" => "/path/to/php -c /path/to/php.ini",

This way, you can have your own php.ini für each V-Server.

Doesn't this only apply to CGI?

I don't knwo as I couldn't get this to work at all. What I finally did 
was use htscanner and it works like a charm.

you can make something like this :

$HTTP["host"] =~ "^(www\.)?sub.yourdomain.com$" {
        #what you need for vhost
        fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
                ((
                     "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php5-cgi -d 
include_path=.:/yourincludepath/lib",
                     "socket" => "/tmp/php2.socket"
                )))
#with socket is not the same of global settings (/tmp/php.socket in 
global setting)
}
