These configurations were tested with Lighttpd 1.4.7.

Note that in newer versions of lighttpd, the min-procs and idle-timeout
values are disabled.  The above example would start 5 processes.
.SS "Non-root configuration"
.IX Subsection "Non-root configuration"
You can also run your application at any non-root location with either of the
above modes.  Note the required mod_rewrite rule.
.PP
.Vb 8

.SS "Static file handling"
.IX Subsection "Static file handling"
Static files can be served directly by lighttpd for a performance boost.

This will serve everything in the \f(CW\*(C`img\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`static\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`css\*(C'\fR
directories statically, as well as the favicon file.
