411 - Length Required means exactly that. Please use your favorite search engine to look up HTTP status codes. If you are running an older version of lighttpd, then POST requests must provide Content-Length request header. Any HTTP/1.1 compliant client should be able to handle 411 Length Required. Additionally, newer versions of lighttpd support Transfer-Encoding: chunked for request body.
RE: [Solved] 411 - Length Required - Added by Koi8 over 7 years ago
I spent three days searching in Google and no solution for that , the problem are not in my script codes , since it work fine with nginx ,
I suspect that related to User that lighhtpd running under I change it to www-data and grant excess to important files
## /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf server.username = "lighttpd" server.groupname = "lighttpd"
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/log/lighttpd/ chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/ chmod -R 0755 /var/www/ chmod -R g+rwx /var/www/ chown -R www-data:www-data /var/tmp/ chmod -R 0755 /var/tmp/ chmod -R g+rwx /var/tmp/
but that didn't help I guess it due PHP-CGI uses root user by default if I run it via CLI ,
but I didn't know how lighttpd runs php in CGI mode is it use it same lighttpd user to start it or uses root !
cgi.assign = (".php" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi")
In nginx I face other problem after running PHP-cgi as service , that scripts like WP etc cant access to folders ,
so I run it on same web-server user
runuser -l www-data -c 'php-cgi -b 127.0.0.1:9000 &'

That's very funny; I don't believe you.
For all the information you have provided above, you have neglected to provide the version of lighttpd that you are running. Then again, I already told you that you're running an old version of lighttpd. Latest lighttpd is lighttpd 1.4.48.
Lastly, I promise that you're not the first person on the internet to run WP under lighttpd, so odds are the problem is not lighttpd, but how you are using it, along with your non-compliant client or script which does not properly handle 411 Length Required.
