edit info

lighttpd (pronounced lighty) is a web server which is designed to be secure, fast, standards-compliant, and flexible while being optimized for speed-critical environments. Its low memory footprint (compared to other web servers), light CPU load and its speed goals make lighttpd suitable for servers that are suffering load problems, or for serving static media separately from dynamic content. lighttpd is free software / open source, and is distributed under the BSD license. lighttpd runs on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems and Microsoft Windows. Under Windows, it can be controlled using the standalone program Lighty Tray.   [edit]

      Lighttpd-light and fast
      osafw

      It is really a very light and fast current webserver. I have used it in my intranet and the best was it worked like a charm on a small machine. We really dont need a bigger webserver (like Apache/IIS..) to server simple pages. Not that lighttpd does not scale, but that could be a little more difficult to confgure than the others.

      LightyTray- Lighttpd on the system tray
      osafw

      I had worked on trying to enable the AESTAN system tray for Lighttpd, it was simple and does provide a nice way to manage the webserver in Windows via a system tray icon.
