Instaweb is a drush command which starts a development webserver on localhost for the current drupal installation much like rails server or django-admin.py runserver.
Compatibility and Requirements
Instaweb runs on Linux and requires lighttpd and mod_magnet.
Installation
Issue the command drush pm-install instaweb wherever you like it. Probably the best choice is in ~/.drush. Refer to the drush README.txt for more choices.
Usage
$ drush help instaweb
Run a development webserver for this drupal instance
Options:

address. Default: localhost
--port Use specified TCP port. Default:
3000
--server Path to lighttpd binary. Default:
/usr/sbin/lighttpd This module is for developers running Linux. If you are not a developer or if you run another OS, please do not install this module. It might also work on OSX but its not tested and some minor tweaks like adapting the absolute path to lighty might be necessary.
