I’m trying to get Lighttpd up and running, but I’m having a few issues and
wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction. I’ve only delt
with Apache2, which was a breeze to get up and running on my Ubuntu box, but
I need a server in a new build on my BeagleBoard-xm and thought Lighttpd
would be worth trying so I added all the dependencies and rebuilt it. After
building I brought the system back up and can only find the lighttpd and
lighttpd-angel in the /usr/sbin/ and a library of mods in
usr/lib/lighttphd/. Running lighttpd returns “No configuration available.
Try using -f option.”. Is the config file is somewhere here and I can’t
find it, do I need to create one, or is it lost to the methos? I was assuming I would get something
under /etc/ as well, but no lighttpd folder there. Like I said I’ve not
done this before and need a good poke in the right direction, thanks.

I haven’t tried lighttpd but it seems like there is no default configuration to run it. There is a documentation at http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/lighttpd/TutorialConfiguration which you can find config file to run the server and command line arguments.
However, I recommend you to user thttpd (http://acme.com/software/thttpd/). It is very lightweight and fast. It doesn’t need so much configuration. You could build and run it easily.
