lighttpd is in testing, as posted in the "The Testing Area".
I might do a thttpd mydsl after a while, but i'm not doing much development stuff at the moment. So far the other servers I've seen are either too big or too limited for my taste.Hi I'm interested in lighttpd. I have two questions though.
1- Since I havent figured out how to open port 80 for monkey to be seen outside my computer (it's open in the router, I have windows machines serving http), will I be able to use this?
2- Will you integrate some kind of light board system?
Thank you1- I had no way to test lighttpd outside of localhost, short of asking for people to test a dialup server, which i didn't want to do. I just assumed that anyone who found a problem with it would post here and then we could work it out...this is why it's in "testing" =o) In any case, I doubt lighttpd will be any different than monkey when it comes to using available ports. You may have to open the port yourself? Maybe a thread specifically for that task is needed.
2- No. Any external software will remain optional and separate, as is the norm for Unix systems. This practice is not strictly followed in some cases in DSL, due to the work involved in getting some packages installed on a modular system like DSL, but for most software it is still a better idea to provide one tool for one task. Any messageboard/wiki/etc software would be made available as a separate myDSL, if at all.Thank you for the answers mikshaw. I'll go and start a thread on the opening ports issue then
Looking forward to that extension!

Haven't tried this httpd yet (Apache user), but I did hear some good things about it.
I replaced Monkey Webserver with Apache (2.0.54) and have no problems running very simple html pages.
The reason I dumped Monkey was it used to stop working. It may have turned out to be because I closed the lid on the laptop which cause the laptop to hibernat/sleep. I wasn't aware of that before I found the 1997 manual on the internet.
