Hello , I have a fresh install of armbian Legacy 3.4.113 desktop Xenial on olimex lime2

I try since many hours to install  lighttpd but I have a problem

On a new fresh install I do

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

after a restart i install lighttpd

apt-get install lighttpd

after this , without restart if I test lighttpd it's ok

 

but after a restart lighttpd won't start

 

A strange thing is after install I have "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log" but after the restart it disappears and lighttpd don't re-create it

 

if i do

 /usr/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

I have

(log.c.118) opening errorlog '/var/log/lighttpd/error.log' failed: No such file or directory

 

 

I do not understand why this folder is erased on reboot

can you help me please ?

We are using ram logging to gain performance and save SD media and which might have some issues ... Temporally workaround is to create this file along with directory.

ok

thank you for your help

I will try like this

On my first try I have used system on hdd , in this case logs are written on the ram too?

There is an option planned in the future to write the logs on HDD ?

 

Best regards , Stephane

We need to find out what the problem might be ... Just disable ramlog service and you are back to normal / slower logging. 

ok , thank you for your help !

What is the right way to disable it ?

Check: /etc/default/log2ram

 

# configuration values for the log2ram service

USE_RSYNC=false

Thank you very much !
