Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.31-4+deb7u3
Severity: important

A simple dependency fix, lighttpd package should simply add a dependency for
php5-cgi

Also reported almost 7 years ago against Ubuntu at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lighttpd/+bug/236027

To reproduce:

install lighttpd WITHOUT php5-cgi package installed

run:

# lighttpd-enable-mod

enter fastcgi-php and exit

reload lighttpd configuration or restart lighttpd

# service lighttpd restart

Normal output is shown, suggesting server is started successfully

Server is not actually started, /var/log/lighttpd/error.log shows:

2015-01-05 12:25:35: (log.c.166) server started
2015-01-05 12:25:35: (mod_fastcgi.c.1103) the fastcgi-backend /usr/bin/php-cgi
failed to start:
2015-01-05 12:25:35: (mod_fastcgi.c.1107) child exited with status 2 /usr/bin
/php-cgi
2015-01-05 12:25:35: (mod_fastcgi.c.1110) If you're trying to run your app as a
FastCGI backend, make sure you're using the FastCGI-enabled version.
If this is PHP on Gentoo, add 'fastcgi' to the USE flags.
2015-01-05 12:25:35: (mod_fastcgi.c.1397) [ERROR]: spawning fcgi failed.
2015-01-05 12:25:35: (server.c.976) Configuration of plugins failed. Going
down.

Installing package "php5-cgi" corrects the issue.
