How to install FLV streaming on Lighttpd
Lets see how we can start FLV streaming on VPS, before installing the streaming lets see how we can install the lighthttp Software, Lighttpd is a free web server designed for speed.. Due to the low memory footprint (compared to other web servers) small CPU load and speed optimizations make lighttpd suitable for servers that are suffering load problems, or for serving static media separately from dynamic content.
yum install lighttpd
vi /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
server.port = 80
server.use-ipv6 = “disable”
server.username = “nobody”
server.groupname = “nobody”
touch /var/log/lighttpd/error.log
touch /var/log/lighttpd/access.log
chown -R nobody.nobody /var/log/lighttpd
vi /etc/lighttpd/modules.conf
make sure modules and including these for flv steaming…
include “conf.d/simple_vhost.conf”
include “conf.d/flv_streaming.conf”
include ” conf.d/secdownload.conf”
vi conf.d/simple_vhost.conf
example entry
$HTTP[“host”] =~ “(^|\.)www.lighttpdexample\.com:80$” {
server.document-root = “/home/cPanel/public_html/”
secdownload.secret = “vAfddsv4$%4?
secdownload.document-root = “/home/cpanel/public_html/media/videos”
secdownload.uri-prefix = “/flv/”
secdownload.timeout = 36000
flv-streaming.extensions = ( “.flv” )
h264-streaming.extensions = ( “.mp4? )
}
or
$HTTP[“host”] != “^(fotoblow.tamilcomedy\.info)$” {
simple-vhost.server-root = “/home/username/public_html/”
simple-vhost.default-host = “fotoblow.tamilcomedy.info”
simple-vhost.document-root = “fotoblow”
}
$HTTP[“host”] =~ “(^|\.)fotoblow.tamilcomedy\.info:80$” {
server.document-root = “/home/username/public_html/fotoblow/”
}
$HTTP[“host”] =~ “(^|\.)www.cpanelkb\.net:80$” {
server.document-root = “/home/username/public_html/fotoblow/”
}
$HTTP[“host”] =~ “(^|\.)tamilcomedy\.info:80$” {
server.document-root = “/home/username/public_html/fotoblow/”
}
Then enable steaming modules.
vi conf.d/flv_streaming.conf
server.modules += ( “mod_flv_streaming”)
flv-streaming.extensions = ( “.flv” )
Normally apache will running on port 80, these entries will redirect .flv extension to port 80. Add the following code in your apache configuration.
vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following entries blow domain config
ProxyPassReverse / http://%{HTTP_HOST}:80/
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .*\.(gif|png|jpg|flv|mp4|mp3)$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}:80/$1 [P]
/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
