Activate Lighttpd fastcgi module, then reload it and restart lighttpd.

$ sudo lighttpd-enable-mod fastcgi-php    
$ sudo service lighttpd force-reload
$ sudo systemctl restart lighttpd.service

Download RaspAP to /var/www/html directory.

$ sudo git clone https://github.com/RaspAP/raspap-webgui /var/www/html

Create the configuration file for lighttpd extension(rewrite module), add it into lighttpd config directory.

$ WEBROOT="/var/www/html"
$ CONFSRC="$WEBROOT/config/50-raspap-router.conf"
$ LTROOT=$(grep "server.document-root" /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf | awk -F '=' '{print $2}' | tr -d " \"")

$ HTROOT=${WEBROOT/$LTROOT}
$ HTROOT=$(echo "$HTROOT" | sed -e 's/\/$//')
$ awk "{gsub(\"/REPLACE_ME\",\"$HTROOT\")}1" $CONFSRC > /tmp/50-raspap-router.conf
$ sudo cp /tmp/50-raspap-router.conf /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/

Activate the above setting, and restart lighttpd.

$ sudo ln -s /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/50-raspap-router.conf /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/50-raspap-router.conf
$ sudo systemctl restart lighttpd.service
