一 lighttpd 简介
Lighttpd 是一个德国人领导的开源Web服务器软件，其根本的目的是提供一个专门针对高性能网站，安全、快速、兼容性好并且灵活的web server环境。具有非常低的内存开销，cpu占用率低，效能好，以及丰富的模块等特点。
二 下载lighttpd,并编译安装lighttpd
wget http://lighttpd-improved.googlecode.com/files/lighttpd-1.4.26.modcache.v.1.8.3-2.tar.gz
#tar xf lighttpd-1.4.26.modcache.v.1.8.3-2.tar.gz
#cd lighttpd-1.4.26
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/lighttpd --with-zlib --with-bzip2 --with-memcache
#make && make install
#cd doc
#cp rc.lighttpd.redhat /etc/init.d/lighttpd
#cp sysconfig.lighttpd /etc/sysconfig/lighttpd
#vim /etc/sysconfig/lighttpd
修改如下
LIGHTTPD_CONF_PATH=/usr/local/lighttpd/conf/lighttpd.conf
#
#chmod 700 /etc/init.d/lighttpd
#vim 修改如下选项
config: /usr/local/lighttpd/conf/lighttpd.conf
config: /etc/sysconfig/lighttpd
pidfile: /var/run/lighttpd.pid
LIGHTTPD_CONF_PATH="/usr/local/lighttpd/conf/lighttpd.conf"
lighttpd="/usr/local/lighttpd/sbin/lighttpd"
#mkdir /usr/local/lighttpd/{cache,logs,conf,htdocs}
#cp lighttpd.conf /usr/local/lighttpd/conf
三 配置详解
#cd /usr/local/lighttpd/conf
# cat lighttpd.conf
# lighttpd configuration file
#
# use it as a base for lighttpd 1.0.0 and above

#memcache for static web page server 设置 开启cache
cache.support-queries = "enable" #ignore '?' in url
cache.dynamic-mode = "enable"
#设置cache 存储的路径

)
#purge cache 设置允许清除cache 的主机
cache.purge-host = "192.168.1.0/24"
#it's important to enable proxy.worked-with-mod-cache or mod_proxy will not cooperate with modcache
#enable or disable mod_mem_cache 设置 开启基于mod_mem_cache 模块
mem-cache.enable = "enable"
#content-type arrays which want to put into memory 设置允许在mem_cache 存储的类型
mem-cache.filetypes = ("application/x-javascript","image/gif","image/jpg","image/jpeg","image/png","text/css","text/html","text/javascript","text/plain")

mem-cache.max-memory = "1024"
#maxium file size in Kbytes of single file to cache in memory 设置在内存中存储的最大文件大小
mem-cache.max-file-size = "1024"
#number of cached memory items to remove when used memory reached maxmemory by LRU algorthim #设置当使用的内存达到最大值时，通过LRU 算法删除的内存cache 的大小
mem-cache.lru-remove-count = "500"
#memory cache`s expire time in minutes.Default: 0 (means to check file update for every request) 设置memory cache 的过期时间
mem-cache.expire-time = "1440"
#adjusts slru threshold (against hit counter)
mem-cache.slru-thresold = "0"
#stat() 这样的系统调用，开销也是相当明显的。缓存能够节约时间和环境切换次数(context switches)，此项有三个选项：fam、simple(缓存1秒内的stat())和disabled。一般我们较多使用前两项
server.stat-cache-engine = "simple"
#usertrack.cookie-domain
#usertrack.cookie-domain = ".example.com"
#sets the maximum duration in seconds of the cookie.if not specified it will not add a 'max-age' to the cookie,meaning it will not expire
#usertrack.cookie-max-age = "60"
#this option allows the setting of the name of the cookie.the default is 'TRACKID'.currently it only allow a-z
#usertrack.cookie-name = "trackid"
# set lighttpd open file num 设置允许的最大文件描述符个数。lighttpd是单线程的服务器，其最大的资源限制就是文件描述符的数量，默认为1024。对于高负荷的站点，需要增加该值，对于较为繁忙的服务器设置为2048较好。修改该设置需要root权限。
server.max-fds = "65535"
#设置lighttpd 最大连接数
#Provides fine tuning for request handling.max-connections == max-fds/2 (maybe /3).As in, if you want to support 2048 concurrent connections,
you may also want to set server.max-fds = 4096 (or 6144).Why more file handles than connections? The other file handles are used for fastcgi and/or files.
server.max-connections = "32767"
#http Keep-Alive 一般来说，一个系统能够打开的文件个数是有限制的(文件描述符限制)。常连接占用文件描述符，对非并发的访问没有什么意义
默认情况下lighttpd 做多可以同时承受30 s的长连接，每个连接最多请求128 个文件
#server.max-keep-alive-requests = 128
#server.max-keep-alive-idle =30
#the maximum of keep alive requests enable or disable
server.max-keep-alive-requests = "1000" #"0" represent disable
#sets the linux system support for transaction processing,Lighttpd
#大量使用了 sendfile() 这样一个高效的系统调用。减少了从应用程序到网卡间的距离。(同时也减少了Lighttpd对cpu的占用，这部分占用转嫁到内核身上了)
server.event-handler = "linux-sysepoll"
#such a highly active system call which a lot of sendfile() used by lighttpd,reduce the distance from application to ethernet
server.network-backend = "linux-sendfile"
#禁止etags 功能
static-file.etags = "disable"
#配置lighttpd 多进程，一般和CPU 个数相同
server.max-worker=4
