Lighttpd是一种适合在生产环境中运行的高性能Web服务器。它是高度优化，安全且非常灵活的Web服务器；与其他Web服务器相比，LightTPD使用的内存和CPU非常低。其事件驱动架构针对大量并行连接进行了优化(保持活跃状态)

Lighttpd为一些流行的Web 2.0站点提供了支持。它提供了高速IO基础设施，使它们能够在相同的硬件上扩展好几倍。这是在考虑未来网络的情况下开发的，如：更快的FastCGI、COMET符合mod_mailbox、异步IO。

可以按照以下步骤在基于RHEL的系统上安装Lighttpd。

步骤1：添加EPEL存储库

EPEL yum存储库拥有最新的Lighttpd包，首先在你的系统中添加EPEL yum存储库。# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

步骤2：安装LightTPD服务器

使用yum包管理器安装lighttpd# yum install lighttpd lighttpd-fastcgiLoaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security

Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

* base: mirror.nbrc.ac.in

* epel: mirrors.ispros.com.bd

* extras: mirror.nbrc.ac.in

* updates: mirror.nhanhoa.com

步骤3：配置LightTPD服务器

在启动lighttpd配置之前，请确保系统中禁用了selinux。# getenforece

现在编辑Lighttpd配置文件/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.confserver.use-ipv6 = "disable"

server.max-fds = 2048

server.use-ipv6：将此值设置为“diable”将允许服务器监听IPv6连接并禁用IPv6连接。

server.max-fds Lighttpd是单线程服务器，其主要资源限制是文件描述符的数量，默认情况下设置为1024(在大多数系统上)。要处理高流量站点，可以将此设置为2048。

步骤4：启动LightTPD服务器

最后使用以下命令启动lighttpd服务# service lighttpd start

要停止或重新启动服务器，请使用以下命令。# service lighttpd stop

# service lighttpd restart

使lighttpd在服务器启动时启动# chkconfig lighttpd on
