I am using Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. I have installed lighttpd 8.28.

I have created the folder - r-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 Mar 16 15:41 httpd

I am pointing my server.document-root to /home/httpd

When I restart the service.

systemctl restart lighttpd.service

Job for lighttpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status lighttpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I get the following errors on syslog. I am clueless on how can I debug this and what is the real problem here. I have changed the group to www-data for my server-document.root.

According to this thread, especially this comment, installing gamin package should do the trick.
