I am trying to install the lighttpd startup script. I followed these steps, but when I start it I get

root@debian:~# /etc/init.d/lighttpd start
.: 53: Can't open /etc/rc.status

Seems rc.status does not exist and the startup script needs it. What am I supposed to do to create rc.status?

No, you should not create rc.status on Debian. What's the contents of the init script that you installed? Or better, what's wrong with Debian's lighttpd package? – Shane Madden Jan 29 at 22:51
I already have it compiled and working from source. Just now I would like to get the init.d working. I am following the "Init Script" section of the link above. The rc.lighttpd that comes with the 1.4.30 download has this inside. pastebin.com/hWr2q0WK – High Jan 29 at 23:04

Yeah, that's a SuSE init script, not sure why they include that as a "generic" one when it's clearly not. Here's Debian's; you'll need to adjust path locations to when you've installed things. Or, seriously, just apt-get install lighttpd. – Shane Madden Jan 29 at 23:25
