For those of you who have used Apache, have you tried lighttpd? and if so, why do you choose Apache over lighttpd? I just started using Lighttpd and so far I love it. The mysql_vhosts is pretty cool. (there is a table with the vhostname and docroot, you dont have to restart the server to make it work)

I haven't tried it, but from the little research I've done, Lighttpd can use PGSql.

I just use Apache because it's bundled with OpenBSD. it's an older (1.3.something maybe) version and they've made their own modifications to it, so it's just easy and provides all the features I need.

lighttpd is good stuff. don't use it at work because there's a lot of proprietary "amg srry we only support apache x.x.x"

so yeah.

So I have two identical sites: tracker.makethenetwork.net and tracker.nomad.makethenetwork.net

on the first, the profile pages were taking an unusally long time to generate and serve, but on the second (lighttpd) its not any longer than the rest of the pages. If I ever get the choice:

Lighttpd
mod_fastcgi
php5-cgi
mysql

^ its odd it linked the first but not the second. I guess ttf doesn't like sub domains of sub domains :)
