Reconfiguring server port does not work

Description

If
server.port = 80
is set and in a later configuration file
server.port := 8080
is set, the port stays at 80 and is not reconfigured to 8080 as the operator := should do.

For comparison if I set
server.error-handler-404 = "error.html"
and later on I set
server.error-handler-404 := "error.php"
then the error handler does change. But it won't work for server.port.

I am unable to reproduce this with a simple test on the master branch using

server.document-root = "/dev/shm" 
server.bind = "127.0.0.1" 
server.port = 80
server.port := 8080

Thanks for your reply.

Does your port 80 stay open after server.port := 8080 ?

For clarity, I am attempting to modify the default pi-hole lighttpd configuration by placing server.port := 8080 in conf-enabled.

It's possible I am missing another configuration option which is setting port 80.

I think I've found it:

# default listening port for IPv6 falls back to the IPv4 port
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/use-ipv6.pl " + server.port

Is it possible to unbind port 80 or rebind it to another port when created via $SERVER["socket"] == "[::]:80" ?

lighttpd configuration is intended to be very simple, as I demonstrated with the simple test-case config above. Unfortunately, many distributions provide their own configuration scripts and integrations which make things more complex for the end-user. use-ipv6.pl is one such script. If you do not need IPv6, just comment the line out. If you want lighttpd to listen on a different port, you can just as easily modify the lighttpd.conf.

You can run `lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf -p` to have lighttpd print what it sees as the config after reading all the include files.

Editing lighttpd.conf is an option but pihole overwrites this file on every update.

I accept this appears not to be a bug, now that I know server.port is not the only way to configure ports.
