lighttpd forum lighty > lighttpd script - no rc.status

I'm using Redhat 9 and the lighttpd script that goes in /etc/init.d 
doesn't work because there isn't a rc.status file on my system. How can 
I get it to work?

Thanks
Joe

I am also on RH9, and it works

does it mean you are unable to use commands:

# service lighttpd start
# service lighttpd stop

?

in any case you can always start lighty at boot time
by adding below line to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file

/etc/rc.d/init.d/lighttpd start

Right - it doesn't work. I get this error:

/etc/init.d/lighttpd: line 53: /etc/rc.status: No such file or directory

You are using: doc/rc.lighttpd template
but you should use doc/rc.lighttpd.redhat instead
if you are on Redhat

Ahhh! I didn't see that. Thanks!

What about for Ubuntu? I have the same problem: /etc/init.d/lighttpd:
line 53: /etc/rc.status: No such file or directory

For Ubuntu .. try to add in synaptic lightpd packages. It works very 
good.

But,if I want to install it, and do not use synaptic lightpd 
packages,how am I doing?
And I found the same error:
line 53: /etc/rc.status: No such file or directory.

Copy the init script from a lighttpd install which was managed by apt* 
;)

As Ubuntu now seems to use upstart, a completely different init script 
may be necessary.

A start-stop I'm using for lightty. I KNOW that the reload/force-reload 
does not work (wrong signal I think) -- haven't had time to track down 
the right one. However, this script should work with upstart on Ubuntu 
(I'm on 6.06LTS). I haven't figured out how to get it to auto run yet. 
(chkconfig etc)

Well that got screwed up. Attached.
