Switching to lighttpd

Posted by: Julien @ 9:00 pm

My unofficial Debian packages repository is now powered by lighttpd. This website is hosted on a small vserver I rent and I hope the switch will allow better performance in the future.

The configuration was very easy, using fastcgi for PHP5 and mod_simplevhost. The next step is to allow encrypted sessions through OpenSSL which should be painless.

I will stick with apache2 on my main (home hosted) server, but will use lighttpd by now on all the vservers I own.

I only regret not to have done it earlier!
