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
