<p>Sure some informations might be old, and they might have changed their setup, but atm. they are still using it for mostly static contents like pictures and stuff.</p> Lighttpd - Feature #1762: Wikipedia?https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/1762?journal_id=42912008-08-31T16:35:20ZAnonymous
<ul></ul><p>It would seem that solely the server hosting images uses lighttpd. Supporting this is this <a class="external" href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wikimedia_Servers.svg">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wikimedia_Servers.svg</a> graphic.</p>
<p>Isn't it a little deceptive to state lighttpd on its front page as it is now? It misleads readers into believing Wikipedia runs lighttpd as its primary HTTPd.</p>

<ul></ul><p>As a regular user, I think the phrase "lighttpd powers several popular Web 2.0 sites like YouTube, wikipedia and meebo" is neither deceptive or inaccurate. To me, the term "powers" means it's used by, I never read it as something exclusive, as "Wikipedia runs on lighttpd". It's nearly impossible (not to mention confusing) to list each of those site's software stack, eg: "lighttpd powers several popular Web 2.0 sites like YouTube (along X, Y and Z), wikipedia (along Apache, Squid, Big-IP) and meebo (along X, Y and Z)"</p>
<p>In fact, on the same page, you can read a more detailed description of YouTube's and Wikipedia's usage of lighty, describing the "<a class="wiki-page new" href="https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/T">t</a>ypical scenario" as "using lighttpd as off-load server to push out static content and leave to complex work to another server".</p> Lighttpd - Feature #1762: Wikipedia?https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/1762?journal_id=42932008-08-31T20:02:36Zstbuehler

<ul></ul><p>I still think it's misleading as it boasts lighttpd's prestige more than it should (not that it does not deserve it, but not from a vaguely true statement such as this).</p>
