I think lighttpd might be something like what you're looking for.
It's pretty lightweight, fast enough and php/ruby/perl works with it (through
fastCGI).

And of course it's in portage :)

I've installed lighttpd - and while mostly impressed I'm finding
problems with authentication support. I've set up two websites
"extranet.mydomain.com" and "intranet.mydomain.com" - the idea being
that extranet contains "public" information for which no
password/username is required - whereas intranet requires a username and
password (in future this page might be personalised.)
I've read authentication.txt and I'm still baffled... Here's the
relevant bits from my configuration in lighttpd.conf
--
server.modules = (
"mod_access",
"mod_auth",
"mod_simple_vhost",)
--
...
--
auth.backend = "plain"
auth.backend.plain.userfile = "lighttpd.user"
auth.require = ( "intranet.mydomain.com/" =>
( "method" => "digest",
"realm" => "Intranet",
"require" => "user=fred" )
)
--
I placed lighttpd.user in /etc and it contains the single line "fred:foo"
With this configuration, neither site asks for a password. If I replace
"intranet.mydomain.com/" with "/" both sites ask for a password... but
neither will accept "fred" password "foo". Then, if I change "digest"
to "plain" then I don't get asked for a password for either site but get
"Access denied" immediately.
Have I discovered bugs - or is this a confiiguration problem?
