[Solved] Issue Starting Lighttpd
Added by airsoftsoldrecn9 about 7 years ago
Hello
I am experiencing a bit of trouble with a new installation of lighttpd 1.4.44 from Optware (Running on TomatoUSB Router). When attempting to start lighttpd and load the config file I receive the following error:
Server:/opt/etc/lighttpd# lighttpd -f ./lighttpd.conf
Undefined config variable: var.vhosts_dir
2017-02-08 01:38:19: (configfile.c.1148) source: cat /opt/etc/lighttpd/conf.d/*.conf line: 230 pos: 45 parser failed somehow near here: +
2017-02-08 01:38:19: (configfile.c.1148) source: ./lighttpd.conf line: 70 pos: 12 parser failed somehow near here: (EOL)
Where are config variables to be defined and may I have an example of proper syntax?
===================Version==========================
lighttpd/1.4.44 (ssl) - a light and fast webserver
Build-Date: Jan 6 2017 11:46:24
===================Modules Installed================
lighttpd-mod-access - 1.4.44-1b
lighttpd-mod-accesslog - 1.4.44-1b
lighttpd-mod-auth - 1.4.44-1b
lighttpd-mod-authn_file - 1.4.44-1b
lighttpd-mod-cgi - 1.4.44-1b
lighttpd-mod-fastcgi - 1.4.44-1b
lighttpd-mod-simple_vhost - 1.4.44-1b
lighttpd-mod-status - 1.4.44-1b
Should modules be enabled in some way following installation, or is the server.list modules section in lighttpd.conf sufficient?
