Here are a couple of useful things for Lighttpd 1.5 that can be used under the same license as Lighttpd:
-
Here you can find patches for: fix src/Makefile.in to make Lighttpd 1.5 compile under FreeBSD, allow SSI echo directive to display SSI varibles, allow recursive SSI includes.
Unofficial Lighttpd-devel FreeBSD port:
I made a temporary and partially buggy unofficial port for lighttpd 1.5. It is called lighttpd-devel and contains at the moment of writting version 1.5.0-svn revision 2299. Before you install it you must uninstall all other lighttpd installations. For the port version (also precompiled package avalible) download, extract and use the above procedure on
lighttpd-devel.port.tar.bz2. The configuration window is the only buggy thing in it, so try to select only things that work (not every option works). If you miss-configured something use make config to reconfigure. The port/package is also patched with the above patches.
