my php.ini had some changes (/etc/php.ini). Today i have switch from apache to lighttpd, do i need to edit another php.ini file ? Apache and lighttpd use the same php.ini ( /etc/php.ini)?

Until recently, it seemed like everything I read about a server indicated that Apache was king. I have never read anything that has given me any reason not to use Apache.
However, about a year ago when I discovered Django, I discovered Lighttpd. From everything I've been able to read, Lighttpd seems to be a better web server, but still don't know very much at all about Lighttpd.
I'm fairly comfortable with Apache, although I've never cared much for it. I have a feeling that I'll like Lighttpd quite a bit more from the very little that I do know about it. I'm wondering if I should even consider switching.
For one, it seems that everyone knows how to work with Apache and Lighttpd seems to be far less common. Apache also seems to be much more established which leads me to believe that it's a safer choice. Nonetheless, I still really want to give Lighttpd a shot. And, judging from what I've seen about Django and Lighttpd, Lighttpd seems to be a better choice when working with Django.
What do you think? Should I stick with Apache since I already know how to use it? Is Lighttpd worth the time to learn or is Apache just too good?
I wanted to know what do you prefer as server apache or lighttpd , though I am running lighttpd and have no issue except that there is too much work for mod rewrite and it effects search engine, so I was thinking to use apache instaed of it will it be possible to install apache over lighttpd or will I have to go for fresh install.

Lighttpd does not support .htaccess files which is a bit of a pain, and doesn't have the same support by apps like Apache does. Given that I get very little traffic to my box (it sits idle most of the time) I am considering Apache.
How is security between Apache and Lighttpd? I know Apache has things like mod_security and mod_evasive, but I've never really checked how Lighttpd compared.
Is it possible to do this scenario:

So basically anything that comes out of "upload" directory will be served by apache and both on port 80 from the end-users point of view.

i want to Migrate from apache to lighttpd and i found out hypervm can do it, just click Update. But i'm noob here and i need help.
- Does i need to check something to make sure Migrating from apache to highttpd without problem?
- Can i switch back later ( withou problem )?
We've been thinking about writing our own hosting control panel for our own
"tight" hosting setup, so that can alter the panel just to our needs without relying on updates from anybody else.
To read new configurations in Lighttpd or Apache, as far as I know, requires the software to be restarted (for example service apache restart). Are there any negative effects of this, I'm assuming that whilst being restarted there is a small amount of time during which the software is "down" and websites can't be accessed during that period (probably <1 second). Am I correct?
What is the best way to reload configurations into these http servers without service interruption? I notice that DirectAdmin seems to just restart Apache on any function that alters the configuration file - for example adding a new user.
I was recently inroduced to lighttpd being able to run on apache with a different port. So I setup my lighttpd that way.
lighttpd.conf
Code:
server.modules = (
"mod_access",
"mod_fastcgi",
"mod_cgi",
"mod_accesslog" )
server.document-root = "/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/lighttpd/"
server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"
index-file.names = ( "index.php", "index.html",
"index.htm", "default.htm" )
and my httpd.conf
Code:
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /lighttpd http://0.0.0.0:81/
ProxyPassReverse / http://0.0.0.0:81/
Now when I created a folder on my server's httpdocs /lighttpd/
everything runs smooth so I got the lighty to work for me.
Okay now that i figure it works I wanted to run one of my subdomain on lighty so that I can reduce the load on the server. Does anyone know how I can setup one of my subdomain to open with lighttpd and keep everything else on apache?
I've hired *name* to take care of my server, but it's just getting so frustrating, as it seems they can't fix my server/optimize it correctly.
I just want some input as to what the problem is here.
I got them to install lighttpd along with xcache.
After about 15-18 hours, the server's CPU slowly increases to be using 90-90%, giving me the 500 Internal Server Error.
I've asked them to optimize xcache and lighttpd, but I keep getting these responses:
Quote:
The should be pretty optimized. Xcache has limited optimization features.
Quote:
Lighttpd itself is pretty optimized, the problem is php. Php runs as its own binary and theres not many parameters that can be tweaked.
Is that even correct?
-------------------------
So I got them to enable apache, and disable lighttpd.
This time, it's the other way around.
My ram get's completely used up, forcing the server to use Swap; making the load shoot to 50+. CPU usage is fine the entire way.
-------------------------
This has been going back and forth, enabling/disabling lighttpd and re-enabling apache but a problem always comes up each time.
Am I asking for too much?

How do I configure Lighttpd to serve images/javascript/css files that are littered about my websites? Can I just input the paths of all the directories that I want Lighttpd to serve from?
For example, I have 4 separate websites with each having a message board, main page etc... Could I have lighty serve the files from:
/var/www/html/site1/images
/var/www/html/site2/images
/var/www/html/site3/images
/var/www/html/site4/images
/var/www/html/site1/javascript
etc....
and have Apache serve the files from all the other directories?

My VPS is running LxAdmin on CentOS and I have lighttpd installed. I've read I need to edit lighttpd.conf but I don't know which application I should use. The file is located in /etc/lighttpd/ but have no idea how to gain access.
I keep getting a segmentation fault after a few hours when I leave lighttpd on. It doesn't seem like much resources are being used and its serving about 60mbit/s. There's nothing in the error or log file.
I'm using CentOS 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5
and
lighttpd-1.5.0-r1992
Here's the config:

"mod_access",
"mod_trigger_b4_dl",
"mod_status",
"mod_proxy_core",
"mod_proxy_backend_fastcgi",
"mod_uploadprogress"
)
upload-progress.progress-url = "/progress"
server.network-backend = "gthread-aio"
server.max-fds = 15000
server.max-connections = 10000
server.event-handler = "linux-sysepoll"
I've actually been having this issue since I've moved to lighttpd 1.5, 1.4 was working fine but I need the features in 1.5. I've tried changing the event handler and network backend to no avail.
How can I at least find out what's causing the error?
