No ridiculous memory leaks, active development, it's the future.
And its name is cooler.
I'm not sure what you mean about the plugins. It's relatively easy setting up Nginx/PHP-FPM.
Your configuration point is a matter of opinion. Nginx's config is pretty easy once you understand how it works.
since when lighttpd have ridiculous memory leaks?
It's been years since I've payed attention to it, but it was something about php and fastcgi not returning memory to the OS. So as you use up cgi script memory, it accumulates until you run OOM
A few years ago afaik, last time I used it.
Lighttpd is dead.
Every big site that used to use Lighttpd like Wikimedia, SourceForge, etc all switched to Nginx.
As far as the memory leak, I knew a few people that used it about 6 months ago and they had major memory leak issues. I do not see anything in the changes that they fixed it either, so it most likely still exists.
When I use nginx as caching proxy it tries to cache space from the memory (leak). Am I doing something wrong?
Does it has any bugs to be fixed?
Does it have new features... ?
I'm not missing anything from lighttpd. What's missing? Nginx on the other hand need more sh*t IMO.
Care to elaborate?
My mindset is:
@raindog308 where is lighttpd?
nowhere
I have nothing against lighttpd - that list is just what I use.
I should add something like microhttpd or boa will be on that list once I get around to firing something up on my 32/64 SecDgn LEB :-)
boa's latest version was on 23 Feb 2005.
could you make a small tutorial about installing mirohttpd and how much memory it takes to run?
Ahm...
That's all
Put this in /etc/xinet.d/microhttpd
service microhttp { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no type = unlisted user = root port = 800 cps = 100 5 # Location of Binary server = /path/to/micro_httpd/micro_httpd # Location of Web Pages server_args = /var/www }Stop xinetd, start xinetd

1.8MB Virt / 568KB Res
Oh, and every connection will use that amount, since each process is started with inetd
Five minutes
Is that hard to search in Google?
Have any of you used thttpd?
Doug maybe? Or maybe I'm getting confused.
AFAIK he was for Kukkaisvoima. Now in blite he is using nginx+php
Is pretty similar to this thttpd, but it supports cgi and other stuff.
BTW, I use this one

For a couple of files in one of my boxes :P
I have not experienced any issues with lighttpd, and I've hosted some high-traffic/high-peak sites. nginx, on the other hand, caused some ridiculous memory usage together with php-fpm (technically speaking php-fpm was eating the RAM, but as there does not seem to be another option for php + nginx...)
lighttpd has handled 400k PHP pageloads in a day with about 512MB of RAM for me. Worked fine.
I always find the 'active development' point to be somewhat of a weak point. If everything works and all required functionality exists, what do you need development for? Requiring development for the sake of development doesn't make any sense.
For someone who has a looooot of things to do in a day, yes it is.

I have nginx with php-fpm and mysql running a largeish MyBB forum on a 128mb VPS.
It averaged 134,462.403 php requests a day since March 28. The max children reached value is so high because of mysql backups locking mysql for ~5 seconds every 30 minutes.
RAM use is low as well.

It's not dead. Development is very active. There is no memory leak. There's a reason so many developers use it as a backend instead of Nginx.
I have a 512MB Linode VPS running Apache, OpenVPN, PiePanel, XFCE4, VNC, A Game Server.
I don't think I've done that bad..

@Daniel
Wait until you start getting hits on that website and watch your VPS drop.
PiePanel is the most recourse intensive thing, it manages 50+ MC Servers, constantly checking them, pushing updates etc etc.
Then why are you reading LET? :-)
Here's a pretty current look at marketshare...doesn't say anything about quality but anyway:
http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2012/04/04/april-2012-web-server-survey.html
Significant thing is that nginx has now passed IIS and is second to Apache.
And So many? 2010 / April 2012. Lighttpd barely registered on 2010, it's now irrelevant in 2012.
[edit] Raindog308 jinxed me :P

exactly. lighttpd is perfect and very stable.
