REQUIREMENTS

PRE-INSTALL

POST-INSTALL

lighttpd runs as a different user ('lighttpd') by default for security reasons.
Do the following after installing the port:

  useradd -s /bin/false lighttpd
  groupadd lighttpd
  touch /var/www/logs/access_log
  touch /var/www/logs/error_log
  chown lighttpd:lighttpd /var/www/logs/*

If you wish to enable SSL support, uncomment the relevant lines in 
/etc/lighttpd.conf and generate a self-signed certificate:

  openssl req -new -x509 \
  -keyout /etc/ssl/certs/lighttpd.pem -out /etc/ssl/certs/lighttpd.pem \
  -days 365 -nodes

PRECAUTION

As of lighttpd 1.4.23 spawn-fcgi was removed and is now provided as a separate
project at http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/spawn-fcgi
