lighttpd forum lighty > lighty crashes immediately

i installed lighty on my arch linux desktop. the latest version, all
looks well, but when i load it with "lighttpd -f
/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf" it doesn't give an error, but i dont get a
connection when i go "localhost" in firefox. i look at htop and there is
no process for lighttpd, its just not there. same with the -D option,
just crashes immediately, as far as i can tell. any help would be very
welcomes, Do Sveedaneya!
