lighttpd forum lighty > Problms with your documentation

Hello to the team of Lightpd.

I'm a beginner in the world of webserver.
But I would prefer to take your lighty before Apache.

Unfortunately your documentation is miserable for beginners !!
Why don't you come up with a complete open book
like Apache ??

I already looked at your Wiki and all I found was
a short descpription of installation and configuration.

For an example I want to install python, subversion and mysql or 
PostgreSQL
A very good Logger would be practical too.

But under Python you have about 4 different links to Python
and what about all that mod Moduls ??
Why don't explain that further ?!

All you have explained is a little bit of install and configuration
But that's not enough for a good documentation !

thank you

First off, the docs are a wiki, so you can edit them yourself as you 
learn.  That's how wikis improve.

Secondly, the instructions for most of these things differ greatly on 
your platform, and if on Linux, your distro family.  Generally, for 
those you can find documentation on their respective wikis.
