There's a lot of brainpower going into this issue from several people. I
wonder, would I be better off just forgetting it, uninstalling apache and
using something like lighttpd. I ask this as a genuine request for opinion
as I have absolutely no experience at all with "lighty" and have seen mixed
reviews.
I can recommend Lighttpd, especially for resource-constrained systems. It
might not be as fully-featured as Apache but it'll certainly fulfil most
needs.
Hell, it's so tiny you can run both and compare ;-)
