and Erlang web servers / Erlang web frameworks...
For web servers there is Yaws (developed by one of the main Erlang guys and about 10 years ago and still actively worked on) and Mochiweb (apparently a bit lighter) and something else.
There is not much documentation online for mochiweb but apparently people are using it anyway.

I came across a web framework called Chicago Boss which is Django/Ruby like but written in Erlang. The documentation seems quite good so far. Chicago Boss seems to use mochiweb by default.
