I've been through the research on that one a couple years ago, and I
found that lighttpd/php-fcgi is the best combination...
I've run lighttpd/php (FastCGI) on many soekris boxes. PHP runs
beautifully. I've even done it in less than 8 megs of CF with
uClibc/busybox. I've used the Soekris net4801s, 4501s and PC-Engines
WRAP boards. I really have to say that I'm pretty impressed at how well
PHP performs on a minimal CPU.
If you want to chop resource usage, lighttpd is pretty slim and you can
compile PHP with only the required modules built-in, and you only need
to install the php fastcgi binary, nothing else. I've benchmarked apache
v.s. lighttpd on my full-size box, and lighttpd holds it's own. It would
probably destroy apache on a resource-limited box.
On one of my 4801s, lighttpd is currently using 2M of memory, 10 PHP
fastcgi processes appear to be using 36M. You could probably cut that
down to however few processes you need.

I need to run a httpd server that can serve up PHP, SQL Lite, and SSL on a
little Soekris box (ie. a 486 with 32MB RAM and 32MB CF storage).
Can anyone recommend something?
How small can Apache get?
AppWeb?
http://www.mbedthis.com
http://www.appwebserver.org/
What about lighthttpd?
http://www.lighttpd.net
Or the httpd that comes in the kernel?
tux?
Related, does anyone know of a tutorial or something that will help to
reduce Apache to only the things really needed for PHP, mySQL, SSL? Right
now, our Apache memory footprint is an astounding 120MB !!
