Configuring Lighttpd
I know this has been asked a bunch of times, but I have been researching it for a few hours, and I am still confused.
I am running lighttpd, php5, and mysql on a 128mb vps. I'm trying to configure it to stay under 128mb of ram, and I am confused by some of the settings in lighttpd:
-What is the purpose of "max-procs"? I know this sets the number of parent processes, and then each of these spawns "PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" children, but why would I ever want to set this to a number higher than one? It just seems to use more ram. Is it fine to just set max-procs to 1, and PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN to 2?
-What's the purpose of PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS? This is how many requests occur before the php processes respawn (helps to reduce memory usage). Does setting this to a low value cause issues?
Thanks!

Is there any reason you're using lighttpd instead of nginx? Enjoying your memory creeping up?
@xur17 try cgi instead of fastcgi.
@Roph I'm using lighttpd since I have used it in the past, and am used to the configuration settings for it. Is nginx a lot better for ram useage?
@OneTwo I'm not sure what you are referring to here. You are saying to switch php from fastcgi to cgi? What would this change?
@xur17 yes, change from fastcgi to cgi. (supposing you don't get a lot of traffic, you don't need fastcgi).
nginx is not better in memory usage.
