Description of problem: There are 2 problems, first is that the init.d script for lighttpd is written to use systemd but there is no actual systemd service file, so systemd trys to run the /etc/init.d/lighttpd script which obviously makes the whole thing fail The second problem i guess is related to this same thing but, even to start lighttpd manually, you must first create /var/run/lighttpd folder and chown it to lighttpd user Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lighttpd-1.4.26-4.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install lighttpd 2. try to start it up with init.d scripts or systemctl Actual results: It won't start Expected results: It Starts
Can you please try the lighttpd-1.4.28-3.fc15 package from updates-testing? I think that all of your problems should be fixed there. The /var/run/ directory problem has already been reported as bug #656612.
this testing package works great :) thanks
Thanks for confirming. The update is now pending to be pushed to stable. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 656612 ***
