lighttpd-1.2.28 with mod_h264 support deb package

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

Hello,

I’ve precompiled a Lighttpd 1.2.28 Debian’s version with mod_h264 (version 2) streaming module support on Squeeze amd64 system.

Ready for use, grab from here

Usage (lighttpd.conf):

server.modules = (
“mod_access”,
“mod_alias”,
“mod_compress”,
“mod_redirect”,
#       “mod_rewrite”,
  “mod_h264_streaming”,
)
h264-streaming.extensions = ( “.mp4″ )

Tested on Debian Squeeze, using it on production system.

lighttpd writev

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

I was suffering from performance problem on lighttpd running a http-progressive flv media server on a Sata Seagate Baracuda drive (24×7 server edition).
The bandwidth didn’t pass the 150-160mbit limit and the disk utilization was on 99.9% const.
I found a suggestion on some forum to change the network backend to ‘writev’ (which is good for large files serving) and walla the bandwidth just jumped up by 150% to 220-240mbit/sec.

writev

While the disk utilization (checked by iostat) is around 81-90% only.

To set ‘writev’ on lighttpd, edit lighttpd.conf and put this:

server.network-backend = “writev”

again this might not help everybody, but it worth a test.

lighttpd dir-generator-plus.php

Friday, April 30th, 2010

I’ve patched a little bit the wonderful dir list generator from Evan Fosmark, i’ve added ability to add hidden files list which you would like to hide from being displayed.

For instance you don’t want to show the dir-generator-plus.php file and the included folder images directory; I also include footers sometimes so i prefer to them as well.

download it dir-generator-plus.php

The usage is simple, edit your lighttpd.conf file at the host area:

dir-listing.activate = "enable"

index-file.names = ( "/dir-generator.php" )

for more info about the usage of Lighttpd dir listing please visit the lighttpd wiki
