Running Lighttpd Along Side Apache
Apr 19, 2007
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 server is Win2003 Standard with IIS 6. I'm using IIS6 to host websites but i have a need to run subversion which require Apache. I'm wondering would it cause any problem with my current operation. Apache will run on different port than the standard 80.

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, or if anyone can suggest a message board where I might get support on this.
This is what I have. I have Apache and IIS both running on Windows 2k3.
Apache is running in reverse Proxy mode sending multiple domains/virtual hosts to IIS.
Code:
ProxyRequests Off
<VirtualHost *:80>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080
ProxyPassReverse / [url]
ServerName mydomain.com
</VirtualHost>
Now, if I type in [url]everything works great and IIS (listening on 127.0.0.1:8080) serves the page. However, I am doing custom error trapping, so when I type in [url](and /mydirectory doesn't exist on IIS) I need to fire ASP code (via custom error messages/handling) on the IIS server and then present a data driven page.
However, Apache is returning A 502 error:
Code:
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /mydirectory.
Reason: DNS lookup failure for: localhost:8080mydirectory
Is there a way for me to setup Apache to pass all error checking to IIS while using it as a reverse proxy?

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.

For a year now I've been running my server with Lighttpd. It's worked out well so far, but now that I have a new box I'm reconsidering.
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:
[url]
[url]
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.

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?
Server specs;
Intel C2D E6400
4GB Ram
There is only one IPB board on this server - nothing else.
Average users is 70-200 users within 15 minutes.
This is what I'm getting when lighttpd is on:

at Lighttpd, and after trying for 2 hours to convert/rewrite apache's rewriterule into Lighttpd format, I became extremely confused.
Here's what I have in apache's rewriterule:
Code:
RewriteCond %{IS_SUBREQ} ^false [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^basic [NC]
RewriteCond /root/to/a/folder/%{REMOTE_USER} -f
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/your_username_is_blocked.html

I'm running both Apache (on port 81) and Lighttpd (port 80) on my VPS. I would like to have Apache run CGI/Perl scripts only for virtual hosts in the Lighttpd.conf. My Lighttpd.conf already has fastCGI enabled though.

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!

I have small issue with load speed of pages when number of apache running processes goes over +-310, during peak traffic of day. IE: They load really slow.
Here's pic of what I mean:
=> [url]
Only thing that fixes it temporarily (at least until peak traffic ends) is to stop either httpd or mysql for several seconds, as everything cools down, then start it back up. Stop/starting mysql usually has longer terms temporary fix.
Anyway, would you have any ideas on what to configure or change within the system in order to keep the processes under 300?
The load is normal. Even at load 40, pages are blistering fast, as long as processes are under 300. So it's got nothing to do with load.

We run httpd-2.2.3 on CentOS 5.8 with caching enable. The server has been running for 4 years, but htcacheclean has never been run. The cache folder is about 10GB now (a "du" on the folder takes a very long time to complete). Should we expect any problem when running htcacheclean for a first time such as server slowing or freezing, ... Furthermore, in case of freezing, if we disable caching and restart the server, do we expect any problems? We did a few test on our test servers, and everything was fine, but our test servers do not have a large cache folder.

I have been a web developer using PHP for years now, and my work laptop runs CentOS with PHP5 as an Apache Module. This suits me just fine for development, but now I want to setup a web server that runs PHP 4.4.8 and PHP 5.2.5 and offer hosting to people. I know PHP4 is very old, but I am looking to offer my users the freedom of choice, as there are still third party applications out there that may need to be run on PHP4.
I will want PHP 5 to be the default, and allow PHP 4 to be used if either the file extension is .php4, or they have a line in their .htaccess file. I have seen various tutorials in search engine results saying to run both, I can either do one of the following:
1. Install PHP5 as a module, and run PHP4 using FastCGI
2. Install PHP5 and PHP4 and run both using FastCGI
3. Install PHP4 as a module, and run PHP5 using FastCGI
In the future I will also be looking to support PHP6 once a stable version has been released, though that will probably be optional to begin with and require a line in the .htaccess file too - like PHP4. I will be using Apache 2.2.8 on CentOS 5.1. I am also looking to install Ruby on Rails and Django too, which I think use FastCGI.
What's the difference between running as an Apache Module, or using FastCGI? This will be for a shared hosting environment so performance over lots of connections, stability and security are my concerns. Should I run everything using FastCGI, if not, would the default PHP version be better off installed as an Apache Module?
