Probably should bump up the keep-alive idle time, as not everyone is able to load, read, and make a new request in that time, unless you count the several requests for images and the like. I keep it at about 15 seconds myself.

Isn't 6minutes kind of long for server.max-write-idle? I see them in the logs but most of them are errors on transfering very small 10kbyte files. The server tries to send the file over and if it idles for that long, it's a good assumption that the user has canceled.

Has anyone figured out how to switch logging off in lighttpd? :)

Removing mod_accesslog in your server.modules should disable logging.

Good one.

So far lighttpd is going well with the short keep-alive time. My logs are filled with the write-idle timeout thing but otherwise it's fine.

Mmm... I disabled mod_accesslog but logging still occurred. Any other ideas?

Are you trying to disable error logging because I don't think you can unless you specify /dev/null as the file output. Removing mod_accesslog only disables accesslog and that works fine for me.

Yeah, disabling error logging is what I'm trying to achieve. But I'm rotating the logs at the moment so it's not a big deal. Funny how you can't do it in the config.

Erwin may i ask who configured the server , is this steven... cause i also work with dan for almost 6 months. Bu t i have to switch from 2 server system to 1 server system as my hits dropped almost 1000% after we have been banned by the freaking nonsenseTurkish Internet Laws and had to change domain name...
Reason being i am asking whether it was steven i can give your site as a reference to himm..
thnx

Dan Paultz helps a lot but he also gets Steven Ciaburri from rack911 to assist him - Steven helped me set up my irc server on one of my boxes. Sure, you can give Steven a reference to my site or to me, they'll know.

Are you using Lighttpd on a multiple CPU server? If so, are you running just one instance? Are you using a PHP optimizer? What is your memory usage like?
