Hi,
I tried to install lighttpd in CentOS 5.2, but yum list lighttpd returned an error of "no matching packages to list". Should it be installed from source tarball?
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Jim

It's not included with the base CentOS (RHEL) distribution. You'll want to grab it from a 3rd party rebpository like EPEL:

(It is included in EPEL). Other repositories may have it as well.

lighttpd is not part of the default operating system, which is why yum can't find it.
Rather than installing from source (bad idea on a system using package management), you should use one of the 3rd party repositories. These repositories augment the base package set with a number of other options. See http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories

You need to configure rpmforge or another repo for this; it's not part of the core OS.

lighttpd is not in the CentOS repositories. It is however a part of the rpmforge repositories. Add the rpmforge repository and then you will find it.
