Posted on October 4, 2009 with No Comments

To enable lighttpd status and config pages, you need to edit lighttpd.conf

vi /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Find

#                                "mod_status",

Replace with

                                "mod_status",

Find

#### status module
#status.status-url          = "/server-status"
#status.config-url          = "/server-config"

Replace with

#### status module
status.status-url          = "/server-status"
status.config-url          = "/server-config"

Restart lighttpd

/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

Now you can visit urls like

http://your-ip/server-config

and

http://your-ip/server-status

To view lighttpd status and configuration.

lighttpd_config

lighttpd_status

A site running lighttpd stopped working with 500 internal server error.

On checking lighttpd log, found

2009-08-17 04:04:58: (response.c.544) file not found ... or so:  Too many open files /4032/046a.jpg ->

2009-08-17 04:04:58: (response.c.544) file not found ... or so:  Too many open files /4032/052a.jpg ->

The error is fixed by editing /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf and adding

server.max-fds = 8192
