Lighttpd

lighttpd.conf:

server.username = "www" 
server.groupname = "www" 
compress.cache-dir = "/var/log/lighttpd/cache" 
compress.filetype = ("text/css", "text/html", "text/javascript", "text/plain", "text/xml")
alias.url = ( "/webalizer/" => "/usr/local/www/webalizer/" )

• 
  mkdir -p /var/log/lighttpd/cache/
  chown -R www:www /var/log/lighttpd

Doing an mkdir /var/log/lighttpd/cache/\~username and setting proper ownership will allow cached files to be created successfully.
