/usr/bin/php-cgi

Open lighttpd configuration file:
# vi /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

First add the module mod_fastcgi (lighttpd provides an interface to a external programs that support the FastCGI interface via this module). Make sure your server.modules loades mod_fastcgi:

server.modules              = (
            "mod_access",
            "mod_accesslog",
            "mod_fastcgi",
            "mod_rewrite",
            "mod_auth"
)

Now add following lines to configuration:

fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => ((
                     "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi",
                     "socket" => "/tmp/php.socket"
                 )))

Save the configuration and close all the files. Restart the lighttpd:
# /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

Test your configuration by running php program or application.
