Start-up log?

Added by Michel about 15 years ago

I have setup Lighttpd and I am starting it up with

/home/qsys/lighttpd/sbin/lighttpd Start -f /home/qsys/lighttpd/doc/lighttpd.conf

and I am not getting any errors popping up when I run the command.

I have

server.bind = "91.203.57.197"
server.port = 8080

I tied to connect to

http://91.203.57.197:8080/

and also

http://91.203.57.197:8080/index.html

But my browser gives me

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 91.203.57.197:8080.

I should be able to look at a log for some idea of what is wrong. Could I get an indication of what log, if any, I am to look at?

Thanks!

Where did you get that "lighttpd Start -f /.../lighttpd.conf" from? Please read the wiki or lighttpd -h it should answer all your questions.

I found the "Start" here, but it may be that I am not smart enough to understand it!

When I ran it without "-f /.../lighttpd.conf" it couldn't find the config file and when I changed it that problem went away.

that "Start" is 1) lowercase and 2) for an init script

Thanks!

And now I feel really stupid about the uppercase, but it's not like it's a new experience!

Ok, it still doesn't work and it would be best if I start the install from the beginning. Since I am running it on a BSD server I will follow the instructions at
