Thanks TomMuc. As a service. No, I am not getting any stats either. Do I need to uncomment #@reboot sleep 10 && … in crontab?
Can you please check the following tell me how should my settings look if I try to connect to a Radarcape giving out raw data?
//ADS-B, SBS1 FORMAT
$globalSBS1 = FALSE; //set to FALSE to not use SBS1 as data import
$globalSourcesTimeOut = '15';
$globalSourcesupdate = '10'; //Put data in DB after xx seconds/flight
//DATA SOURCES
$globalSources = array(array('host' => '192.168.1.170','port' => '30334','name' => '','format' => 'raw','sourcestats' => FALSE,'noarchive' => FALSE,'timezone' => 'UTC','callback' => FALSE));
nope - is just meant as a backup for those who do not want or are able to setup the system service
dont remeber the radarcape ports as this was two years ago when i used one. the simplest and fastest workaround i’d try now. install dump1090-mutability on the pi → connect dump1090 to radarcape → see if the aircrafts show up in dump1090 map → then connect flightairmaps to aircraft.json. this is by the way much less cpu demanding for the pi than to directly use the tcp stream from radarcape because dump1090 written in c is muuuch faster than any script like php or python is. and in addition with aircraft.json you get mlat inclusive anonymized mlat data too …
or simply use my way described above from a to z that worked for many others out of the box 
Thanks. I will try installing dump1090-mutability and see how it goes. If not then will do it from scratch as you have described.
NEWS: developer of FlightAirMaps added a super-cool new feature. up to now it was not easy to select a distinct flight in 3d mode and moreover slower computers struggled in 3d mode having all received aircrafts in 3d mode. now it is possible within sidebar-menu to select ‘Only display selected flight on 3D mode’ → then you can easily select the desired aircraft in 2d mode → and after switching to 3d only this aircraft instantly shows up.
cd /var/www/html/flightairmap/
sudo git pull
and then to update database for some other enhancements that were done over last days
sudo /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/flightairmap/scripts/update_db.php
sudo git pull

thanks…disable the play shadows…
In the installation guide are the two lines
sudo nano /var/www/html/phpinfo.php
sudo nano /etc/php/7.0/cgi/php.ini
What is to edit in these files?
sorry - my fault!
- phpinfo.php does not apply to flightairmap
- php.ini you have to set max_execution_time to 0
i delete the first and add the explanation in above howto
Thank you TomMuc.
dump1090 is running and I can see data with --interactive.
But lighttpd does fail.

no idea what went wrong there - you could try do disable the lighttpd modules that are enabled and see if one of them causes the errors …
Check if folder /var/log/lighttpd and file /var/log/lighttpd/error.log exists. If not, create these manually and restart lighttpd sudo systemctl restart lighttpd.
error.log exists with these entries:

I think my problem is with
sudo nano /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/89-flightairmap-lighttpd.conf
Not sure, what exactly to edit there.
I changed
"/flightairmap" => "/var/www/flightairmap/"
to
"/flightairmap" => "/var/www/html/flightairmap/"
and
include "/var/www/flightairmap/install/flightairmap-lighttpd-sub-conf.include"
to
include "/var/www/flightairmap/html/install/flightairmap-lighttpd-sub-conf.include"
After sudo service lighttpd force-reload I get
Job for lighttpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status lighttpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
systemctl status lighttpd.service shows:

please clean up that mess post in this thread! if you want post lots of code her you have to ident every single line with 4 blanks.
this line is wrong anyways html directory in wrong position of path:
include “/var/www/flightairmap/html/install/flightairmap-lighttpd-sub-conf.include”
must be
include “/var/www/html/flightairmap/install/flightairmap-lighttpd-sub-conf.include”
Comment-out symbol # at start of a line with a space after it, like
# abcdefgh…
acts as heading in mark-down system used in this new forum, and commented-out lines creaet a mess when posted
# Unless you post it as code
by placing 4 spaces before each line, as suggested by TomMuc.
