[Solved] Sticking 403 problem
I just installed lighttpd on an existing CentOS box running other services as well. Starting with the 5 min Config tutorial
server.document-root = "/var/www/servers/pages/" server.port = 3000 mimetype.assign = ( ".html" => "text/html", ".txt" => "text/plain", ".jpg" => "image/jpeg", ".png" => "image/png" )
and running lighttpd from this config I immediately got a 403 response in my browser. I temporarily changed permissions of /var/www (all) to 777 and expected to see my index file /var/www/servers/pages/index.html showing up but I only get 403 errors. As there are other services running on the computer I assume there is a conflict somewhere but I have no clue where to start solving that. The lighttpd log only shows that the service is running.

You must enable mod_indexfile to have lighttpd serve index.html
