It attempts to be lower memory footprint, and more CPU efficient than other web servers, and is often simpler to configure. Initially it was targetted at static content, but now it is widely used for both static content and hosting CGI, PHP, Ruby, Python etc code.

What do I set the 'socket' to in lighttpd/fcgi?

I want to configure lighttpd to run fastcgi but I'm not sure what I should set the 'socket' to. What is the socket? Surely it doesn't expect me to create a socket before the program is actually running, that's impossible.
