Lighttpd: the little known web server

Filed in archive Servers by Rom Feria on April 05, 2007

We all know that Apache web server links

powers a majority of today's internet. An alternative lightweight open source web server, lighttpd, is fast gaining popularity specially with the Web 2.0 folks such as YouTube, wikipedia and meebo.

Bill Lubanovic of ONLamp.com has a tutorial on installing and configuring lighttpd. I recommend that you check it out and try it. It definitely will lessen the load on your server. :)

Response from: no image apache dude (Check me out!)

I have been using apache tomcat and lighttpd, lighttpd is great when your application logic is simple ie only servers images or videos, lighttpd will be a lot faster. but lighttpd does not have nearly as many as apache does.
