lighttpd is available for windows according to this url: https://www.kevinworthington.com/index.php/2005/11/23/lighttpd-for-windows/ but I haven't tried it. I'd recommend using apache for windows with mod_proxy because it's more mature.
I wouldn't recommend doing dev on windows for a linux environment. Dual boot your machine with Ubuntu linux and use that instead. It'll save you a lot of time and headaches. Mark.
