I have an old Compaq Armada 1500c with 32MB of RAM i want to use as a webserver. Having it support PHP and mySQL would be fun since i intend to use both. The same machine has sshd running and might also become a print-server for a parallel Epson Stylus Color 740 if i can decide on the print server (apparently either cups or lpd, whichever's lighter).
I haven't fiddled with it a whole lot, it's mostly just on and showing top through ssh. Right now its memory line is this: Memory: Real: 7200K/20M act/tot Free: 3944K Swap: 0K/66M used/tot with its most cpu-intensive process being sendmail. I have no mailserver, what's that for? So, big servers like Apache are kind of out of the question. From the package list i found Bozotic, lighttpd, nginx, p5-HTTP-Server-Simple and thttpd. Of those, nginx caught my eye and while searching i came across cherokee-project.com, Hiawatha (hiawatha.leisink.org) and also shttpd.sourceforge.net Is anyone using any of these or a lightweight httpd in general? I don't mean small as in d116.com/ace/ nor are my resources as low as d116.com/spud/ but useful input would be welcome. Ya know, the constructive criticism type. TIA -- Nuno MagalhC#es
