PLEASE NOTE: Native Lighttpd Windows builds are available at http://en.wlmp-project.net/
The last available Lighttpd for Windows build that I created using Cygwin was Lighttpd for Windows 1.4.17. Updated September 29, 2009.
Lighttpd 1.4.13 for Windows is now available. Please note that the Windows port should only be used for testing and does not support all of the modules that Linux/BSD/other Unix builds do. If you decide to run this in a production environment, be aware of that risk. This file is posted “as-is”. I assume no responsibilty for anything that you do with this file. Use at your own risk! I’ve posted this file here in the hope that they will be useful. I have tested this build on Windows 2000 and XP. I am releasing this under that same license as the original author, Jan Kneschke: http://www.lighttpd.net/download/COPYING or read the ‘COPYING’ file in c:\lighttpd. Have fun!
Here is the output of ./configure, showing the enabled/disabled modules:

I installed your latest version on a fresh install of Windows XP.
I installed your latest version…
renamed the lighttpd.conf.orig to lighttpd.conf
I attempt to run…
It says Starting lighttpd….
(I have Windows task Manager running before I open lighttpd)
lighttpd.exe appears for 2 to 3 seconds then disappears
I have checked the error log file but nothing’s there apart from …server started
BoxedUp: try opening a command prompt, changing to the c:\lighttpd\sbin directory and running:
lighttpd.exe -f ..\etc\lighttpd.conf
and see what errors come up. Then try to work out the error from there. You most likely have an error in your lighttpd.conf file.
Hey Kev:
It works now, i had to close down the server and restart it, when i installed the latest version, Thank You
Also, how do I get PHP and MySQL running? I’ve tried 2 tutorials from other sites but they didnt’ work, do you have a step by step?
BoxedUp: Josh Dick has a very good tutorial here.
I get this error following his tutorial, WARNING: unknown config-key: cgi.assign
lighttpd started
.
.
.
(i made a file with to see if anything would happen and I get 403 – Forbidden
edit: i made 1 mistake, fixed now thanks
BoxedUp: It sounds like you forgot to uncomment the mod_cgi module.
A plain zip file without installer would be appreciated.
This is an other windows release of lighty:
http://wlmp.dtech.hu/downloads/pub/LightTPD/LightTPD-1.4.13-Win32.exe
I can’t get clean binary output from mod_cgi. Anything I output seems to be filtered as though it’s going through a stream opened in text mode.
Is it perhaps line 994 of mod_cgi.c, where O_RDONLY should be combined with O_BINARY?
ps. Kevin- I emailed this question straight to you, but here it is again for all to see.
Ben: this might be a better question for the lighttpd forum
I am trying to launch this on Windows Vista RTM, but as always it just doesn’t work…
Any ideas why is it not working?.. I was trying to find some articles on the net, but as I can see no-one writes about it…
And I can’t find any support here or I just don’t see it…

David: please view the above comment.
Just download one of RTM version and that’s all… Still you won’t be able to crack it.
I think I am moving back to XP or changing everything to Mac…
I have installed 1.4.13
when I tried to use mod_auth, but failed
2007-01-11 21:09:26: (plugin.c.165) dlopen() failed for: c:/lighttpd/lib/mod_auth.dll No such file or directory
2007-01-11 21:09:26: (server.c.577) loading plugins finally failed
Starting lighttpd
.
.
.
I checked c:/lighttpd/lib, mod_auth.dll lie there. so I confused:(
Well,since fastcgi dont work i have tried the cgi module,the lighttpd loaded ok,but i always get a blank page.
and appear that in log page
2007-01-15 10:40:38: (mod_cgi.c.1194) cgi died ?
2007-01-15 10:40:39: (mod_cgi.c.961) CGI failed: Permission denied c:/php
mod_cgi.c.964: aborted
2007-01-15 10:40:40: (mod_cgi.c.1194) cgi died ?
yes the register_globals=on in php.ini
forget solved the blank page
with “.php” => “c:/lighttpd/php/php-cgi.exe”
Hello first I would like to say thank you! This works greatly!
For all who had also problems with the upload (like me), just add following to the lighttpd.conf:
server.upload-dirs = ( "c:/lighttpd/tmp" )Now lighty will save the uploads temporarly in “c:/lighttpd/tmp”.
Have a nice Day!
Anyone get mod_secdownload working?
why isn’t packed also?
why PHP isn’t packed also?
When I click the “Start Lighttpd” link, it says “Starting lighttpd” and then after that, it is not running.
I have no other webserver running, and it did work yesterday, also after 2 reboots. Any ideas ?
walid: There are plenty of places to get a working PHP, so I have decided not to package it also. I usually use the PHP provided as part of XAMPP lite for Windows since it is quick and easy to get running. Jasper: See a comment that I made above in this post for a solution.
