directory structure
$ ls -R

./www:
cgi-bin index.html
./www/cgi-bin:
hello.cgi
lighttpd.conf
server.document-root = "www"
server.port = 3000
server.modules += ( "mod_accesslog", "mod_alias", "mod_cgi" )
cgi.assign = ( ".cgi" => "" )
index-file.names = ( "index.html" )
hello.cgi
#!/bin/sh
printf 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n\r\n'
printf 'Hello, World\r\n'
and this script itself works well...
$ ./www/cgi-bin/hello.cgi
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Hello, World
starts lighttpd
$ lighttpd -D -f lighttpd.conf

Use an absolute path for server.document-root (maybe server.document-root = env.PWD + "/www").

great! It works!
Thank you!
Currently, the contents of lighttpd.conf is:
server.document-root = env.PWD + "/www"
server.port = 3000
server.modules += ( "mod_accesslog", "mod_alias", "mod_cgi" )
cgi.assign = ( ".cgi" => "" )
index-file.names = ( "index.html" )
