[b]Step 5 setting[/b]
vi /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
Now, you will see this line below, maybe you need to change the user name, that is my user for running the lighttpd.
server.username = "www-data"server.groupname = "www-data"
and, if your website root directory is here.
var.server_root = "/var/www"
So,
mkdir /var/www/htdocstouch /var/www/htdocs/index.htmlecho 'Hello lighttpd!' >> /var/www/htdocs/index.html
and open this line of commend,
server.bind = "localhost"
then set the port,
server.port = 8080
Finally, typing this command in terminal,
/usr/local/lighttpd/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
Now, opening your bowser with the address [url]http://localhost:8080 [/url]
you will see 'Hello lighttpd!', good luck to you!
In addition. you could add the command aliases to your ~/.bash_aliases
alias lighttpd='/usr/local/lighttpd/sbin/lighttpd'alias lll='/usr/local/lighttpd/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf'alias www='cd /var/www/htdocs'
