If nofiles is unlimited, lighttpd cores at startup with no error in the log file.

foo.conf:

server.document-root="/users/adh/data"
server.port=8085
server.pid-file="/users/adh/logs/lighttpd.pid"
server.modules = ( "mod_access" )
dir-listing.activate="enable"
mimetype.assign = (
".html" => "text/html",
".js" => "text/javascript",
".svg" => "image/svg+xml",
".svgz" => "image/svg+xml",
".css" => "text/css",
"" => "text/plain"
)

lighttpd -D -f foo.conf
