Lighttpd - For My Server
Jun 17, 2008
i have small - mid size forum
1) 25k members with 100 - 125 members / guest being online at all times. about 400,000 page views per month
2) software pages static html about 200,000 page views per month.
3) a script library which get about 200,000 page views per month
4) i get about 2000 - 2500 software downloads per day. each download between 1mb to 3 mb give or take
i would estimate a total of 1 million page views per month...
a) i am using Apache right now would lighttpd help?
b) if yes, how does one go about switching from Apache to Lighthtpd
c) is it easy to manage and optimize lighttpd?
d) can i just ask for lighttpd to be installed as default by any hosting company out there?
e) does lighttpd support cPanel?
currently i am on a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+(2 Ghz) with 2 GB RAM.
my server loads are sky high - anywhere between 10, 15 and 20.

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.

to getting a second server, specifically for downloads for my site. Without going into too much detail, my website requires that I get a separate server for downloads, and another for the webserver.
I've already gone ahead and configured the server I want; however, I'm trying to do something different from what I'm used to. I'd like to use Lighttpd, instead of apache, as well as not having cPanel installed on the server. I'd still have cPanel and Apache on my regular webserver, but I'd rather keep my download server relatively clean.
So, once I get my server, and I install Lighttpd, how do I go about setting up everything so that my two servers can communicate? I'd like the download server to be something like: download.mydomain.com , so would I have to set up an A Hostname on my webserver?
What are the steps I should take?

somebody know is possible on some way route traffic before come to web server (apache or lighttpd)?
I want to setup lighttpd on port 80 and apache on port 81 and I want visitors to go direct to apache or lighttpd without url:81 and that must work on this way if somebody visiting url1.domain.com that go to lighttpd on port 80 and if somebody visiting url2.domain.com that go to apache on port 81 and something must route it before lighttpd and apache (and get/post must work), is this possible on some way?
I know that lighttpd and apache can do it but I don`t need it on that way!

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.

I'm about to set my own permalink rules in Wordpress.
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:
server.modules = (
"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?

I just recompiled PHP 5 with MySqli in cPanel and Mysqli is working fine under Apache, but it doesn't work under lighttpd. I can see the MySqli module in phpinfo when I run it under Apache, but there's no MySqli module when I run it under lighttpd. So how can I fix it to use MySqli with lighttpd?

Lighttpd works well with static file.
But for php, it's totally not good for me
I just install lighttpd and php.
By [url]
Now It takes about 10 seconds for the
server to response.
Here is a part of config file
############ Options you really have to take care of
####################
server.max-keep-alive-requests = 4
server.max-keep-alive-idle = 4
server.max-read-idle = 60
server.max-write-idle = 1024
server.max-fds = 8192
php.ini using the default one
Here is the link to it
[url]
And only about 200 connections. the load average is only 0.02.
When I check the error log
2007-11-08 12:38:46: (server.c.1253) NOTE: a request for
/view_video.php?viewkey=f8e13f14b405e038deb6&page=&viewtype=&category=
timed out after writing 13068 bytes. We waited 1024 seconds. If this a
problem increase server.max-write-idle

Would it be possible to have this kind of setup?
Lighttpd running on port 80 to serve only static content, and if it receives php requests, to forward the request to Apache running on another port. Not sure if this is useful [url]
If it is possible, is there any example of lighttpd conf where this can be done?

to accomplish:
[url] ==> [url] however it should be proxied so that the user never sees [url]
This is because the sub domain is using apache while www is using lighttpd and I want to keep the entire site with www to the user.

Can Lighttpd be installed with DirectAdmin in this fashion:
Lighttpd - port 80
DirectAdmin on Apache - port 999
OR
Is there any performance decrease in
Apache - Port 80
Lighhttpd - port 81 (proxy between Apache)
DirectAdmin on Apache - port 999

I would like to use Lighttpd to rewrite and proxy as in this example:
1) There is no [url]download on server.
2) [url] => proxy => Apache 2.2 on same server to [url]
3) *.php should be handled by Lighttpd, however, the reason I want *.php5 to be done by Apache is due to compatibility issues.
proxy.server = ( ".php5" =>
( "localhost" =>
(
"host" => "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX",
"port" => 81
)
)
)
The reason is because I don't want people to see .php5 file
Does this work using url.rewrite? If so how to do it?
I already have the following in lighttpd.conf, should the url.rewrite be placed in side of this?
$HTTP["host"] =~ "^domain.com$" {
url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => [url])
}
