For The Leet Folk. How to Set Up PHPBay with LigHTTPD Rewrites Instead Of Apache.

Tonight I was setting up PHPBay and noticed they don’t seem to have any instructions on their site, or in their documentation or anyone in forums (and, only 3 pages of google results for this.. so I guess nobody else runs LigHTTPD with PHPBay).

Tonight I was messing with my Asus WL-500 and was having trouble getting lighttpd to start. I found some post in russian that I was able to decypher thanks to my excellent linguist skills (haha).

User Contributed Databases.. For Free?

Okay. Something totally blew my mind tonight for coming up with new ideas. This morning, after working on the new campaign I’m launching I took a break for about .. oh 3 hours, and just did procrastination shit like catching up on emails, working on some beats in ableton live, doing some client work, and catching up on rss.
