[HCoop-Discuss] Apache choice?

[leitgebj at hcoop.net]

Was the choice made?  ;)

I don't remember talking about it and have the feeling we might have 
just stuck with something that has worked for a long time.  The only 
problem that I could see with lighthttpd is that I don't know about 
compatibility with existing applications, both for administration 
(domtool) and users' sites and it might be a hassle to install for this 
reason.  However, perhaps this isn't an issue with the way that we're 
currently running things.

Maybe in the migration it wouldn't be a bad idea to try using lighthttpd 
or something else (I've heard some good things about lighthttpd), but I 
don't have any first-hand experience with servers besides apache 
personally and for that reason can't comment any further.

At any rate, I don't think it's a silly question and perhaps we could at 
least begin to discuss it as a future platform.
