Под катом краткая инструкция по установке и настройке вышеуказанной связки. Через поиск не нашел, когда ставил для себя пришлось порыться по инету.

Шаг первый.

Качаем и ставим Lighttpd для Windows.

Шаг второй.

Качаем и ставим питон для Windows.

Шаг третий.

Настраиваем конфиги, идем в C:\Program Files\LightTPD\conf и правим файл lighttpd-inc.conf, а именно:

Раскомментировать

server.modules = (
...
                             "mod_cgi",
                             "mod_rewrite",
...
                               )

Задать полный путь к каталогу в котором будет находиться наш базовый сайт, задать нужно полностью (pytрon.exe не будет исполнять .py файлы по относительным путям) и с прямым слэшем.

server.document-root        = "C:/Program Files/LightTPD/HTDOCS/"

Добавить описание заголовочного файла на питоне:

index-file.names  = ( "index.py", "index.php", "index.pl", "index.cgi",
                                "index.html", "index.htm", "default.htm" )

Занести питоновские файлы в исключения, чтобы не относить его к статическому контенту:

static-file.exclude-extensions = ( ".php", ".pl", ".cgi",".py" )

И самое главное, указываем полный путь к местанахождению интерпретатора питона:

cgi.assign            = ( ".py" => "C:/Python27/python.exe")

Если 80 порт уже используется каким-либо веб-сервером или приложением стоит проверить строку с привязкой к порту и изменить на свободный:

server.port          = 81

Запускаем Lighttpd сервер (C:\Program Files\LightTPD\TestMode.bat)

Шаг четвертый.

Создаем тестовый файл на питоне. Я использовал следующий код:


#!C:\Python27\python.exe -u
#!/usr/bin/env python

import cgi
import cgitb; cgitb.enable() # for troubleshooting
print "Content-type: text/html"
print

print """
<html>
<head><title>Sample CGI Script</title></head>
<body>
<h3> Sample CGI Script </h3>
"""
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
message = form.getvalue("message", "(no message)")
print """
<p>Previous message: %s</p>
<p>form
form method="post" action="index.py"
<p>message: <input type="text" name="message"/></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
""" % cgi.escape(message)

Но конечно можно ограничиться и более простым

print "hello";

Называем файл index.py и ложим по пути C:\Program Files\LightTPD\htdocs.

Тестируем вбив в адресную строку:

http://localhost:81/index.py

, должно работать и просто

http://localhost:81

Тестировалось на Windows Server 2008 R2 x64. Должно по идее работать на любой версии ОС.

I got application server running in Windows – IIS6.0 with Zend Server to execute PHP. I am looking for lightweight static content only web server on this same machine which will relive IIS form handling static content and increase performance.

It need to be only static content web server – maximum small and maximum effective – lighttpd seems too big because allow to FastCGI.

I am looking for: Windows, static content only, fast, and lightweight.

I am using Windows Server 2003.

You can use Python as a quick way to host static content. On Windows, there are many options for running Python, I’ve personally used CygWin and ActivePython.

To use Python as a simple HTTP server just change your working directory to the folder with your static content and type python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000, everything in the directory will be available at http:/localhost:8000/

Python 3

To do this with Python, 3.4.1 (and probably other versions of Python 3), use the http.server module:

python -m http.server <PORT>
# or possibly:
python3 -m http.server <PORT>

# example:
python -m http.server 8080

On Windows:

py -m http.server <PORT>

Have a look at mongoose:

single executable
very small memory footprint
allows multiple worker threads
easy to install as service
configurable with a configuration
file if required

The smallest one I know is lighttpd.

Security, speed, compliance, and flexibility — all of these describe lighttpd (pron. lighty) which is rapidly redefining efficiency of a webserver; as it is designed and optimized for high performance environments. With a small memory footprint compared to other web-servers, effective management of the cpu-load, and advanced feature set (FastCGI, SCGI, Auth, Output-Compression, URL-Rewriting and many more) lighttpd is the perfect solution for every server that is suffering load problems. And best of all it’s Open Source licensed under the revised BSD license.

Main site: http://www.lighttpd.net/

Edit: removed Windows version link, now a spam/malware plugin site.

Consider thttpd. It can run under windows.

Quoting wikipedia:

«it is uniquely suited to service high
volume requests for static data»

A version of thttpd-2.25b compiled under cygwin with cygwin dll’s is available. It is single threaded and particularly good for servicing images.

Have a look at Cassini. This is basically what Visual Studio uses for its built-in debug web server. I’ve used it with Umbraco and it seems quite good.

I played a bit with Rupy. It’s a pretty neat, open source (GPL) Java application and weighs less than 60KB. Give it a try!

A simple and light-weight Http server for Windows. This product is ideal for hosting static html-only websites. The program provides the basic functionality of a web server. Its simplicity make it perfect for unexperienced users with little knowledge in using servers. The server offers the opportunity to start your career as a web developer. You can also customize the program to fit your needs, add new features and contribute to the project in other various ways. I will appreciate each contribution.

Some of its notable features are:

Asynchronous request processing
Simple to no configuration (can be started without configuration file)
Stability
Supports both HTTP and HTTPS
Server-site scripting is not supported, which makes it more secure.
Runs on both x32 and x64 CPU architecture.
Simple, tidy, clean and well-documented API with the possibility to easily add new features.

The program is also fast and not resource-consuming. For example, the memory usage can drop below 2 mb.

Getting Started

Before using Http Server, you must ensure that the latest supported version of Visual C++ Redistributable is installed on your machine.

Follow these steps to start Http Server for the first time.

Download from the latest release Http_Server_x32.exe or Http_Server_x64.exe depending on your architecture.
After that, create a folder named PageDir in the same path as the executable.
In PageDir create a file and name it index.html.

Paste the following HTML code into index.html:

 <html>
     <head>
         <title>Home</title>
     </head>
     <body>
         <h1>Hello from HTTP Server! This is my index page.</h1>
     </body>
 </html>

Now run the Command prompt as administrator, change the directory to that of the executable and type the following command: "Http_Server_x32.exe" noconf or respectively "Http_Server_x64.exe" noconf. This way you will start the server without configuration file.
All properties are set to the defaults.
An output like this:
```
 Info: Chosen schema:       http
 Info: Host name:           +
 Info: Port name:           80
 Info: Max request threads: unlimited
```
indicates that the program has been started successfully.
Visit http://localhost:80 and you will see the index page on your browser.
To exit, you move the focus on the console and press Ctrl+C.

This short tutorial shows how easy is to use Http Server. This program will serve great on your hosting and testing purposes. After you learn how to use it, you will have the basics to learn using much more complicated web software.
You can learn how to configure the server here
