[mythtv-users] alt lightweight web servers for MythTV?⎈

[James Miller]

The next step I need to undertake is getting Mythweb running under my new 
Gentoo/MythTV system. Having previously used pre-packaged MythTV distros I 
did not previously have a choice about what web server would be serving up 
Mythweb. But under Gentoo, I do face such a choice.

I'd like to go with the lightest-weight, least resource-intensive web 
server possible since this system is a bit underpowered. I've heard there 
are web servers that do not require such hefty resources as Apache does, 
so I'm hoping I might use one of these instead.

I've heard of Lighttpd, for example, and even found a dated web page 
describing how to set it up to serve Mythweb under Gentoo 
(http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Setup_MythWeb_with_Lighttpd). I'm not 
sure to what degree I can depend on those almost-7-year-old directions, 
but they may yet work. Can anyone comment on using Lighthtpd to serve up 
Mythweb in place of Apache? Any assessments on the adequacy of the 
directions to which I've linked? And, finally, what are some other 
lightweight web servers I might consider? Or would you recommend just 
sticking with Apache?

Input will be appreciated. Thanks.
