+* PHP users:  
+Slackware's default php package is meant to work with 
+httpd(apache).  It works fine with lighttpd with a couple of tweaks.  
+
+1) Copy the php.ini from /etc/httpd to /etc/lighttpd
+
+2) Uncomment mod_fastcgi from the modules section of 
+/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf.
+
+3) Rework the fastcgi section of /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf to the 
+following: (Or just copy this in below the extisting commented out
+fastcgi config.)
+
+fastcgi.server  = ( ".php" =>
+                    ( "localhost" =>
+                      (
+                        "socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket",
+                        "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi -c /etc/lighttpd/php.ini"
+                      )
+                    )
+                 )
+
+4) Change the group of /var/lib/php from "apache" to "lighttpd".
+Otherwise php won't be able to use $_SESSION.
