In case anyone else is tooling around lighttpd, I just wanted to share
that it took all of 5-10 minutes to get it installed, configured,
running and properly rewriting a hieraki install.
http://manuals.textdrive.com/ is now under lighttpd (and the content
is currently hidden) and it''s likely to stay under hieraki. And the
rewrite rules in lighttpd (thanks Justin F. for the final
controller=shelf piece that I had left off) are
url.rewrite = (
"^/$" =>
"/dispatch.fcgi?controller=shelf",
"^/([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$"
=>
"/dispatch.fcgi?controller=$1&action=$2&id=$3",
"^/([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+)$" =>
"/dispatch.fcgi?controller=$1&action=$2",
"^/([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$" =>
"/dispatch.fcgi?controller=$1&action=index"
)
Our main sites --in PHP-- worked quite nicely as well. The next thing
I''m trying with lighttpd is the mysql-based virtual hosting and then I
think it''ll be time for a "wishlist"/"wishlist
visit", and it''s likely
we''ll be doing at least big hosted app entirely with lighttpd (like
we''re going to switch it next week).

Can anyone point me to a resource explaining the benefits? I''ve never had many complaints with apache, except that it has hundreds of features I don''t use. I''m (slowly) building a rails application at present which may warrant a dedicated server, should I consider lighttpd? -- Cheers Koz

OK, so the ''elevator pitch'' is that it''s a functional high performance HTTP server for high load environments? It seems like a reasonable option, I guess I can look at it ahead of time incase load increases? Are there any other cool features? On Mon, 07 Feb 2005 21:08:14 -0600, John W.

Ok, I''m hooked! The more I look at it, the stronger the feeling I got when I first saw rails gets; Something Simple, Something Agile, Something Useful. /me wanders off to install this beauty.
