Web Server
The exacqVision Web Services installer provides lighttpd as the default web service. For systems where more than five to
ten concurrent client connections are expected, you should upgrade to Apache web services. For more information, see
https://www.exacq.com/kb/?kbid=34927 .
As noted previously, web services increase server hardware requirements and can require installation on a dedicated
web server. For additional information on configuring web services, see the Exacq knowledge base at
https://www.exacq.com/kb/ .
