Lighttpd is a high-performance web server suitable for running in production environments.

Its event-driven architecture is optimized for large numbers of parallel connections (keep-alive)

How to install Lighttpd web server on CentOS and RHEL using Yum

Lighttpd powers some popular Web 2.0 sites. It provides high-speed IO infrastructure that enables them to scale many times on the same hardware. This was developed with future networks in mind, such as faster FastCGI, COMET compliant mod_mailbox, and asynchronous IO.

Step 3: Configure LightTPD server

Before starting the lighttpd configuration, make sure selinux is disabled in the system.

# getenforece

Copy after login

Now edit the Lighttpd configuration file /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

server.use-ipv6 = "disable"
server.max-fds = 2048

Copy after login

server.use-ipv6: Setting this value to "diable" will allow the server to listen for IPv6 connections and disable IPv6 connect.

server.max-fds Lighttpd is a single-threaded server whose main resource limit is the number of file descriptors, which is set to 1024 by default (on most systems). To handle high traffic sites, you can set this to 2048.

Step 4: Start the LightTPD server

Finally use the following command to start the lighttpd service

# service lighttpd start

Copy after login

To stop or restart the server, use the following command.

# service lighttpd stop
# service lighttpd restart

Copy after login

Make lighttpd start when the server starts

# chkconfig lighttpd on

Copy after login
