lighttpd not started

The handbook indicates that lighttpd is started automatically at boot.

However, I don't see /etc/lighttpd or /var/www.

What am I missing?

Re: lighttpd not started

go to the slitaz control box and add it to the run daemons section, which its self just adds it to a txt file somewhere.

Re: lighttpd not started

Thanks for your reply.

- I downloaded and installed slitaz 3.0.

- I can browse the internet with midori.

- I have added lighttpd to "Run daemons" in the control box.

- I rebooted.

- lighttpd is in /etc/rcS.conf

- "ps | grep lighttpd" doesn't show it's running.

Re: lighttpd not started

Spider button/System Tools/Show boot log:

Starting web server: LightTPD...                                     [ OK ]

From xterm:

Stopping web server: LightTPD...                                     [ OK ]

root@slitaz:/home/tux# /etc/init.d/lighttpd start

Starting web server: LightTPD...                                     [ OK ]

root@slitaz:/home/tux# ps | grep lighttpd

1140 www      /usr/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Recheck /etc/rcS.conf

RUN_DAEMONS="dbus hald slim portmap unfsd cupsd samba lighttpd"

Check and delete if you find a stale pid :

#rm /var/run/lighttpd.pid

Re: lighttpd not started

Thanks for trying to help.

This is a clean install (other than me adding lighttpd to Run daemons).

There is no lighttpd in /etc/init.d

There is no lighttpd in /etc

I rechecked /etc/rcS.conf:

RUN_DAEMONS="dbus hald firewall slim lighttpd"

I checked the boot log.  There was one "Failed"

Starting udev daemon ...           [Failed]

Everything else  ...               [OK]

The last entry is slim (not lighttpd).

Re: lighttpd not started

You need to install the lighttpd package first. It doesn't come bundled with SliTaz 3 anymore (it was however part of SliTaz 1 and 2)

Trixar_za,

Thanks, the handbook and some reviews needs to be updated

with your information.  After installing the lighttpd

package, it seems to be working fine.  (Issue closed.)

@Trixar_za

Sometimes the solution is installing the software.

Slitaz-2.0 doesn't include lighttpd.

Thanks
