lighthttpd and plesk 10

Is there a way to install lighthttpd to run alongside plesk 10? Simple question :) I hope the answer is also somewhat simple (and not a no)
 
For what? JFYI, Plesk service sw-cp-swerfice is modified lighthttpd.
 
Well I'm kinda new to all the handlers and such (the entire dedicated thing) so i was hoping lighthttpd would give me a speed boost that i need (lot of images and dynamic content) and that it would sorta fix the permission issues that i am having (currently somewhat fixed)
 
If you mean using lighthttpd for sites hosting - it is impossible. Only Apache can be used for site hosting in Plesk.
 
I see. Ok. And that service you were talking about... can that work in my favor? Is it running by default?
 
sw-cp-server is modified by Parallels lighhttpd and it is used for administrative Plesk Panel operation (internal purposes and interface) and can't be used for hosting purposes.
