+### Notes & Warnings
+
+- **This is an unsupported configuration created by the community**
+
+### Basic requirements
+
+1. Run [basic-install](/main/basic-install/) and choose to install the Admin Web Interface.
+   lighttpd is the default webserver installed and used by the pi-hole Admin Web Interface.
+
+### Optional configuration
+
+lighttpd config with [BLOCK\_IPV4](/ftldns/configfile/#block_ipv4) or [BLOCK\_IPV6](/ftldns/configfile/#block_ipv6)
+(Note this does not work with TLS due to local server not having local TLS certificates for 1.6+ million ad domains)
+
+Option 1: configure lighttpd 404 error handler (compatibility with old pi-hole behavior)
+Sample handler: pi-hole used to provide /var/www/html/pihole/[index.php](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/v5.14.2/advanced/index.php)
+Adjust `server.error-handler-404` to be the url-path from the virtual host document root (e.g. `/var/www/html`).
+If not already enabled, the global lighttpd.conf must be configured for mod\_fastcgi to handle `.php`.
+(Alternatively, `/pihole/index.php` could instead be an empty file `/404.txt`)
+
+Fedora:
+
+   ```bash
+   echo 'server.error-handler-404 := "/pihole/index.php"' > /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/pihole-block-ip.conf
+   echo 'include "/etc/lighttpd/conf.d/pihole-block-ip*.conf"' >> /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
+   service lighttpd restart
+   ```
+
+Debian:
+
+   ```bash
+   echo 'server.error-handler-404 := "/pihole/index.php"' > /etc/lighttpd/conf-available2/08-pihole-block-ip.conf
+   lighty-enable-mod pihole-block-ip
+   service lighttpd restart
+   ```
+
+Option 2: configure lighttpd mod\_magnet
+
+Download, review, and copy [pihole-block-ip.lua](https://github.com/gstrauss/pi-hole/blob/lighttpd-lua/advanced/pihole.lua) to `/etc/lighttpd/pihole-block-ip.lua`
+(sample lua app created by lighttpd dev, also replacing `pihole-admin.conf`)
+
+Fedora:
+
+   ```bash
+   echo 'server.modules += ("mod_magnet")' > /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/pihole-block-ip.conf
+   echo 'magnet.attract-physical-path-to += ("/etc/lighttpd/pihole-block-ip.lua")' >> /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/pihole-block-ip.conf
+   echo 'include "/etc/lighttpd/conf.d/pihole-block-ip*.conf"' >> /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
+   service lighttpd restart
+   ```
+
+Debian:
+
+   ```bash
+   echo 'server.modules += ("mod_magnet")' > /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/pihole-block-ip.conf
+   echo 'magnet.attract-physical-path-to += ("/etc/lighttpd/pihole-block-ip.lua")' >> /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/pihole-block-ip.conf
+   lighty-enable-mod pihole-block-ip
+   service lighttpd restart
+   ```
