You might find useful the list I have inside http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/index.php?page=warez , in the paragraph starting "If you need an http (Web) server". Back in 1999, when I was head system administrator at Linuxcare, Inc., in San Francisco, and we needed a small, fast, secure httpd, we used Boa, which is a single-tasking, non-forking httpd. It was really easy to deploy at the time, on account of its extremely Apache-inspired boa.conf conffile. (You presumably wouldn't like the fact that it was last updated in 2005. I'm unsure what I'd pick today, but quite probably Lighty.) Anyway, cited URL provides about twenty options in this area. -- Rick Moen "The word 'totally' is redundant except when r...@linuxmafia.com describing how rad something is." McQ!
