Hi, To follow up a discussion we had in skien's barcamp, I've added a webdav interface to ezpublish on lighttpd and it works fine (yes, even the authentication ;) If enough are interested and hoping it could push so this wonderful server is going to be officially supported, I could write an article about ez on light.... and how to use it to run both php4 and php5 on the same server (so we can test more easily ez4) As for the magic feature to speed the download, that x-sendfile, and it shouldn't be complicated to add to ez and improve quite a lot the performances on files and images download. http://blog.lighttpd.net/articles/2006/07/02/x-sendfile X+

I, for one, would be very interested in a tutorial-style article on running eZ Publish with lighttpd. :-)

still apache 2.2 and mod_fcgid is broken for webdav. Though i am glad to see that it works for lighttpd. I hope the author of mod_fcgid adresses this since it seems that mod_fastcgi is doomed for newer apache releases.

Great news Xavier! Just curious on your speed impressions of Lighthttpd. What is your experience in this respect? In terms of general usage of eZ as well as Webdav. Could you hammer the server with siege or ab and verify Kim from Webdeal's claims of tremendous speed improvements? Regards,
Felipe

What would you suggest as a significant benchmark ? Hammering the same page isn´t very representative in my mind. I general, It seems to work a wee bit faster and the architecture makes me believe it will handle the load in a much better way. X+

I also got webdav working without any problems. Here is the rewrite I'm using:
url.rewrite-once = (
"^/.*$" => "/webdav.php"
) I'm currently working on a benchmark repport for lighttpd with eZpublish, it will be availible in August.

Hi Kim, For the record, I'm using this one
url.rewrite-once = (
"^/.*?(\?.*)?$" => "/webdav.php$1"
)
Not sure at all what's the benefit of it vs what you use. Haven't hacked the kernel to make use of x-sendfile (I'm quite sure this makes a tremendous difference on downloads/webdav). Are you benchmarking webdav as well ? X+

So how are things looking regarding that tutorial/blog entry and the performance comparison? Fed up with non-reproducible but relatively frequent apache crashes due to the embedded PHP, I've yesterday switched to lighttpd + fast_cgi. At the moment, my configuration is really simple, I'll post it during the weekend (basically what you can find on the net, plus a new regex to handle /content/download URLs even if the filetype is normally passed through). Things I'd like to do:
* static cache support (should be easy with mod_magnet, haven't had the time yet)
* compression (mod_compress or maybe mod_deflate)
* PHP opcode caching (eaccelerator or xcache)
* mod_memcache for small files (is this sensible on a 1GB machine?)
* mod_cache to make sure IE caches background images Anything I need to add to the list? Known good settings? Stuff I should avoid?

Hi Peter, It works fine with eaccelerator and yes, it seeds things up. Talking about content download, I'm quite sure adding support to X-Send-File would be a smashing improvement. (the idea is that php deals with access rights, then leave lighttpd deal with the pushing bits, something it does way better than php) X+
