 == 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.
