Question: Is it possible to run lighttpd or nginx as a Windows service?
Answer: Yes. Microsoft’s website has a good explanation. (Thanks to Martin Kirsche.)
Question: Can lighttpd use FastCGI with PHP and MySQL on Windows?
Answer: No. Currently the FastCGI implementation does not work properly on Windows. To use PHP and MySQL with lighttpd on Windows, use CGI.
Question: Can the windows version of nginx (or lighttpd) be installed anywhere besides C:\nginx\ (or C:\lighttpd\)?
Answer: The short answer is No. It is compiled statically using Cygwin. The long answer is yes, providing that I create a custom-compiled version specifically for you. I have done this on a consulting basis in the past for a fee. Please contact me if you are interested.
