[SOLVED] installing lighttpd from svn unable to start script

tkmsr · 08-07-2010, 01:01 PM

I edited the above /etc/default/lighttpd
when there was a line as

Code:

# Set to yes to start saned
RUN=no

then I was getting an error like this

Code:

lighttpd disabled; edit /etc/default/lighttpd

when I changed /etc/default/lighttpd

Code:

# Set to yes to start saned
RUN=yes

I get

Code:

/etc/init.d/lighttpd lighttpd start
Starting Lighttpd web server: /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd: invalid option -- 'a'
lighttpd/1.4.27-devel-2751 (Aug  6 2010 21:04:17) - a light and fast webserver
usage:
 -f <name>  filename of the config-file
 -m <name>  module directory (default: /usr/local/lib)
 -p         print the parsed config-file in internal form, and exit
 -t         test the config-file, and exit
 -D         don't go to background (default: go to background)
 -v         show version
 -V         show compile-time features
 -h         show this help

Here is the /etc/init.d/lighttpd
which I am trying to start and stop.

I think

Code:

DAEMON_OPTS="-a $RUN_AS_USER"

is what it is complaining about.

It's

Code:

/etc/init.d/lighttpd  start

Ohh ya right
I again made some change to /etc/init.d/lighttpd
added these two lines

Code:

. /lib/init/vars.sh

. /lib/lsb/init-functions

So the new script is now

Code:

/etc/init.d/lighttpd start
Starting Lighttpd web server: /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd: invalid option -- 'a'
lighttpd/1.4.27-devel-2751 (Aug  6 2010 21:04:17) - a light and fast webserver

 -m <name>  module directory (default: /usr/local/lib)
 -p         print the parsed config-file in internal form, and exit
 -t         test the config-file, and exit
 -D         don't go to background (default: go to background)
 -v         show version
 -V         show compile-time features
 -h         show this help

I think I should start a new thread for this one what do you say?

bathory · 08-07-2010, 01:16 PM

I think that you screwed somehow the script
Use the attachment after renaming it and making it executable
