Lighttp

After upgrading my apache2 installation to allow me test a php5 app, I have not been able to get SSL to work! Arggh!!!

Rather than continue to lose time while tinkering with Apache, I got the brilliant idea of trying out Lighttpd and I got up and running in less than 5 mins hurray.

Instructions to install lighttpd with ssl is here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-install-ssl-lighttpd-https-configuration.html
along with how to generate a self-signed certificate here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-lighttpd-create-self-signed-ssl-certificates.html

Open source rocks!
