When I get those errors I see “500 – Internal Server Error” in the web browser. Sorry for the triple post.

Oh wow. I didn’t realize that this was already posted

Anyway, if anyone would like to help me, I get errors like these in error.log http://pastebin.com/9Fhh2HQb

The PHP’s I tried with is a SQL Lite manager http://www.sqlitemanager.org/

phpinfo(); runs without a problem, so it’s working good otherwise.

Works perfectly, though I had one issue, namely I got lines like these:
fdevent_linux_sysepoll.c.131: epoll_create failed (Function not implemented), try to set server.event-handler = “poll” or “select”

The solution was to uncomment the line server.event-handler in lighttp.conf and set it to “poll”, and then restart the server. Works without a hitch now!

Many thanks for this lighttpd setup.
I have obtain an error when starting server in error.log
“(server.c.1105) fdevent_init failed ”
after short googling i have fix it by make change in the config file /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

server.event-handler = “poll”

I don’t understand this… who do you type it in?

# wget -O – wdtv-01:8081 2> /dev/null | egrep ‘Server API|System’
System Linux wdtv-01 2.6.15-TvDock #2 PREEMPT Mon Sep 15 20:20:41 CST 2008 mips
Server API CGI/FastCGI

I like the idea of having such low cost webserver for free, but running it as root ?
Can’t I run lighttpd under a different user with
less priviledges ?
Maybe the answer is obvious, but I don’t Linux well
tx for all you for us !
