Pushed to Rawhide, though untested yet until I have a systemd enabled machine available.
Comment 3 Honza Horak 2011-10-24 07:17:32 EDT 
lighttpd doesn't start every-time with new systemd (systemd-35-1.fc16 and systemd-37-2.fc16 tested on F16 in VM, although it works on systemd-26-9 on F15). It seems like it starts correctly only the first time after system daemon is reload, so it is a race condition.

It seems to me like the PID file is not created fast enough, because systemd reports: "Failed to read PID file /var/run/lighttpd.pid after start. The service might be broken." If I run the daemon manually, the PID file is created right.

I'm proposing an easy patch that fixes the failure for me -- just don't demonize the daemon:
