lighttpd forum lighty > Dir-Listing configuration

Hi

I need a simple server that would do dir-listing.  I tried fiddling 
around with the config file based on the documentation but I couldn't 
get it to work.  Also, I am new to this http server business.

This is what I want:

Server running on port: 8000
Server name: athlona.homelinux.net
Folder for dir-listing:  /mnt/data_drive/test
Current Permissions for the above folder: a+rx

So I made a symlink: /var/www/servers/athlona.homelinux.net -> 
/mnt/data_drive/test

My configuration is here.  Please let me know about the modules and 
priveleges that my clients won't need.

# lighttpd configuration file
#
# use a it as base for lighttpd 1.0.0 and above

This is all you need

## the default host:
server.document-root = "/var/www/servers/..."

server.modules = {
  "mod_dirlisting"
}

$HTTP["host"] == "atholona.homelinux.net" {
  server.document-root = "/mnt/data_drive/test"
  dir-listing.activate = "enable"
}
