Hello , i hear alot of good thing about thttpd , but can we install thttpd in another port when apache still running in port 80 ?

I dont see why not.

Check out the -p option via command line, or a simple change in the source could make it listen on a different port.

Yes. No problem - apache use 80 port while thttpd over port.

you can also run thttpd on another ip thats not used for sites and make apache not bind to it

a cool thing would be to make the kernel decide which one should give the content

if static -> thttpd
else -> apache

hehe... i guess there're already some modules/hacks for kernel... but i don't do that on running kernels

Lem0nHead . what do you mean ? thttpd and apache in same port or difference port ?

i am planing to put all of my wma files to thttpd , but are there anyway to prevent hot link to my wma files under thttpd ? anybody here have used thttpd before ? and any comment about it ?
Thank you

i think it's needed to be in different ports

AFAIK, there would be a kernel module checking for HTTPd requests on port 80
if it requests a static object (html, gif, jpg...), it's sent to thttpd, else it's sent to apache
