On Debian, startup scripts go into /etc/init.d. You can use update-rc.d to set up the symbolic links from /etc/rcN.d, e.g.

update-rc.d lighttpd-ssl defaults

If you installed lighttpd using apt-get, there will already be one startup script installed. That script references a .conf file in /etc/lighttpd.

You don't need to run 2 instances of lighttpd for non-ssl/ssl. Setting up some checks on $SERVER["socket"] you can have one process do non-ssl and ssl.

@A32:

I got instructions here:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lig … ghttpd_SSL">http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LighttpdForBothSSLAndNon-SSL#LighttpdSSL

Only problem is that the instructions don't seem to work with Debian.
Well look for notes on distro's resource site first, then look at the software's project page. The latter has all the details needed in this case:

http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/Docs%3ASSL

Debian's wiki is unfortunately one of the poorest, they only have a generic section on web servers:

http://wiki.debian.org/WebServers

Which points to a Debian LUG site in the UK with very minimal details:

http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/lighttpd.htm

Note that Ubuntu doesn't do much better either, it borrows from Gentoo's wiki:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lighttpd+PHP

Thanks guys.. I think I should be able to run 2 servers now.

The reason I have to run 2 separate servers is because I need to serve a secure subdomain on a non secure domain.

> $SERVER["socket"] == "10.0.0.1:443" {

ssl.engine = "enable"

ssl.pemfile = "www.example.org.pem"

ssl.ca-file = "/etc/CA.crt"

server.name = "www.example.org"

server.document-root = "/www/servers/www.example.org/pages/"

}

I am thick headed so I tried anyways. It didn't work because I host example.org, www.example.org AND secure.example.org .. secure.example.org is the only SSL one.

With both, socket & host declared, it just defaults to the example.org's document root.

I need to serve a secure subdomain on a non secure domain.
Try this:

$HTTP["host"] == "chocco.org" {
        url.redirect = ( "^/.*" => "http://www.chocco.org/" )
}
$HTTP["host"] == "www.chocco.org" {
        server.document-root = "/srv/www.chocco.org"
}
$HTTP["host"] == "secure.chocco.org" {
        url.redirect = ( "^/.*" => "https://secure.chocco.org/" )
}
$SERVER["socket"] == "10.0.0.1:443" {
        ssl.engine = "enable"
        ssl.ca-file = "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certs.crt"
        ssl.pemfile = "/etc/ssl/certs/ssl.pem"

       $HTTP["host"] == "secure.chocco.org" {
               server.document-root = "/srv/secure.chocco.org"
       }
}
