Lighttpd

server.maxfds option As lighttpd is a single-threaded server, its main resource limit is the number of file descriptors, which is set to 1024 by default (on most systems). If you are running a high-traffic site you might want to increase this limit by setting server.max-fds. Changing this setting requires root permissions on startup. see [wiki:server.usernameDetails server.username]/[wiki:server.groupnameDetails server.groupname]. By default lighttpd would not change the operation system default. But setting it to 2048 is a better default for busy servers. {{{
server.max-fds = 2048
