How to install on OSX¶

I've written up a small article on how to get 1.3.10 up and running on OSX 10.3. It can be found here: http://theexciter.com/articles/installing-lighttpd-on-osx

If you installing on OSX 10.4 Tiger then http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger is very helpful. If you aren't planning to use Rails scroll down to the section on LightTPD.

There is (since May 2005) a fink package on the download page which saves compiling lighttpd.

If you are looking for an installer for OSX 10.4 Tiger Intel or PowerPC then http://www.netzallee.de/extra/lighttpd is the easiest way.
