I want to restart lighttpd using */lighttpd restart command, but nothing happens, no message, error, just a new cli line waiting for command.
I've examined lighttpd file and lighttpd.conf and they seem to be ok..
What should I do more ?

Are you sure the lighttpd binary is correctly installed and executable? If the file is not found, the init script will just exit without doing anything.
The binary file is (at least on Debian) supposed to be /usr/sbin/lighttpd.

Debian here too, file is in /etc/init.d/. I have tried /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart, nothing :(– ClaudiuMar 24, 2010 at 0:23

@Claudiu: Is there a file
/usr/sbin/lighttpd? That's where the actual program is supposed to be that the init script tries to start. If it's not there tryapt-get install lighttpd.– sthMar 24, 2010 at 0:33 -
You are right, lighttpd wasn't installed. I've installed it and everything is ok. THanks– ClaudiuMar 24, 2010 at 0:49

This can happen if you had the package installed before and then removed it again. apt by default doesn't remove the config files in case you made changes to them that you don't want to lose.– sthMar 24, 2010 at 0:55

Yeah, but I still have problems, I can;t start it now .. :( port 80 is free. When I try to start it is just say "Starting web-server: lighttpd" and new cli line appears– ClaudiuMar 24, 2010 at 1:04
