Hi Rohan,
Here is the documentation in wiki for apache-1.3/mod_glusterfs
http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/Getting_modglusterfs_to_work.

For documentation related to lighttpd/mod_glusterfs, you can find a
README.txt in the respective subdirectories of mod_glusterfs in
glusterfs--mainline--3.0 checkout.

regards,

A centipede was happy quite, until a toad in fun,
Said, "Prey, which leg comes after which?",
This raised his doubts to such a pitch,
He fell flat into the ditch,
Not knowing how to run.
