Lighttpd是一个由德国人领导的开源Web服务器软件，其根本的目的是提供一个专门针对高性能网站，安全、快速、兼容性好并且灵活的web server环境，授权协议为BSD，具有非常低的内存开销、cpu占用率低、性能好、以及丰富的模块等特点。
Lighttpd是众多开源轻量级的web server中较为优秀的一个。支持FastCGI、CGI、Auth、输出压缩(output compress)、URL重写、Alias等重要功能，而Apache之所以流行，很大程度也是因为功能丰富，在lighttpd上很多功能都有相应的实现了，这点对于apache的用户是非常重要的，因为迁移到lighttpd就必须面对这些问题。
Security, speed, compliance, and flexibility -- all of these describe lighttpd (pron. lighty) which is rapidly redefining efficiency of a webserver; as it is designed and optimized for high performance environments. With a small memory footprint compared to other web-servers, effective management of the cpu-load, and advanced feature set (FastCGI, SCGI, Auth, Output-Compression, URL-Rewriting and many more) lighttpd is the perfect solution for every server that is suffering load problems. And best of all it's Open Source licensed under the revised BSD license.
最新版本：1.4
