Using lighttpd on Windows to host your own webserver

Lighttpd is a quick to setup web server which works on windows as well.
Download, install, setup a small conf file and ready to go.

Get sample conf file from here

one thing to remember on windows the paths are written like this:

server.document-root = "d:/some/windows/path/"
Else you get something like this error when you try to validate the config file:

(configfile.c.960) source: lighttpd.conf line: 1 pos: 137 parser failed somehow near here
