Hello, I'm new here. And I have a question. I recently placed Lighttpd(lighty) on my windows box, because my others are full. And I am experimenting with the boastings of lighttpd. Anywho. I was wondering how to configure php for use with lighttpd? I really am confused and my first few attempts ended in disaster. I was also wondering how to do the same for MySQL. to anyone who can help. Thanks.

Hello there,

This link here gives a tutorial on how to install on windows for lighttpd. http://www.winstonyw.com/2008/05/28/installing-lighttpd-and-php-on-windows/

MySQL is a little more complicated however: http://databases.about.com/od/shareware/a/mysql_3.htm

I would have installed lighttpd on a Linux box, to be honest.

I've never been convinced that Windows is good with anything other than IIS.
And I say that as somebody who prefers Windows servers.

Google would be your best friend for this question, because most of the time a single article is only based on the author's own experience but not general. you have to research it.
