Packt Publishing have released the first book devoted solely to Lighttpd that I have come across. With chapters covering compiling, configuring, virtual hosting, CGI, streaming, logging, SSL, optimizing, migrating from Apache, Lua and even writing your own lighttpd modules, Andre Bogus has attempted to cover everything you will need to know. In this post, I will discuss what I think are the good and bad points about this book.
I recently needed to update my python-psycopg2 package to a version that wasn't available in the Debian or Backports repositories, so I decided to use Python's ez_install command. In short, ez_install installs Python eggs, which are equivalent to Ruby's gems and are meant to be a cross-distro library installation system. However, the egg couldn't be used by other UNIX users.
The kind people at Packt Publishing have requested that I review their new book about lighttpd. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on how good the book is until it arrives and I have a chance to read it, but they do have a sample chapter(pdf) online to look at. Watch this space
