Description Jeffrey 2022-06-18 14:13:03 UTC
Default document-root directive is
server.document-root = server_root + "/htdocs"

Desired document-root directive should be
server.document-root = server_root + "/lighttpd"

Currently, after install, visiting localhost will display error 404, as /var/www/htdocs does not exist. Default page is instead located in /var/www/lighttpd.

This is similar to 1201056.

Why is this important?
New lighttpd users who do not yet understand how lighttpd configuration works can find this a difficult problem to get past.
Providing working configuration can provide a "learning by example" experience instead of the unwelcoming "learning by googling solutions to problems which other people do not seem to have".
