Both. Default is mongrel. (can be changed to lighttpd by adding "server:
lighttpd" to config/locomotive.yml)

2. Where's the config file for that web server?

For mongrel, there is none by default, but you may create one and specify it
with "server-conf: /path/to/config" in locomotive.yml
For lighttpd the base config is in
/Locomotive2/Bundles/bundlename/config/base_lighttpd.conf

Best,

-r
