Starting Lighttpd with bootlocal.sh

[angryjack]

Hello,

i have a problem loading lighttpd with bootlocal.sh. I did add the following line but the server won't start at boot:

Code: [Select]

sudo lighttpd -m /usr/local/lib/lighttpd -f /home/tc/lighttpd.conf
If i do execute the line manually the server does start. What can i do ?

Hi angryjack
I'm guessing your network card isn't up yet. Are you running a GUI?

Also, don't use sudo, bootlocal.sh runs as root.

Hi angryjack
If you are running a GUI, the simplest fix is to create a file in the  .X.d  directory containing:

Code: [Select]

sudo lighttpd -m /usr/local/lib/lighttpd -f /home/tc/lighttpd.conf &It will be run automatically once X is up.
If you are not running a GUI, place the following in bootlocal.sh:

Code: [Select]

SEC=60
while [ $SEC -gt 0 ] ; do
   ifconfig | grep "inet addr:" | grep -qv "127.0.0.1" && break
   sleep 1
done
lighttpd -m /usr/local/lib/lighttpd -f /home/tc/lighttpd.conf

I do run PiCore on a RPi2 without GUI. Will try the script on monday. Thank you!

Hello,

with the script it did also not work but it is running now.

The reason why it was not working was that i tried to start Lighttpd after Inetd. I placed the line before inetd and now it runs 

Here is my bootlocal.sh

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

# Start serial terminal
/usr/sbin/startserialtty &

# Set CPU frequency governor to ondemand (default is performance)
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

# Load modules
/sbin/modprobe i2c-dev

# Start openssh daemon
/usr/local/etc/init.d/openssh start

# Start Webserver
lighttpd -m /usr/local/lib/lighttpd -f /home/tc/lighttpd.conf

# Start Inetd
/usr/local/sbin/inetd -d /etc/inetd.conf



# ------ Put other system startup commands below this line

lighttpd has a startup script in /usr/local/etc/init.d.  Why are you not using it?
