Just an FYI to show that I experienced the bug: On my Debian server (squeeze/sid 2.6.30-2-686-bigmem #1 SMP) this morning I just installed lighttpd (1.4.25-2) using apt-get.
Since Apache is already running on port 80 I knew I needed to choose a different port. So I edited /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf and made the following change only: ## bind to port (default: 80) server.port = 81 IE I uncommented the server.port directive to choose port 81 Attempts to start lighttpd result in the error message: Starting web server: lighttpd2010-02-03 21:03:04: (network.c.345) can't bind to port: :: 80 Address already in use failed! So I proceed to comment out the following 'include_shell' directive ## Use ipv6 only if available. (disabled for while, check #560837) #include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/use-ipv6.pl" And so now wget localhost:81 Results in a success and lighttpd is therefore working for me. -- Steve Walker Middle Fork Geographic Information Services 360.671.2505 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
