In order to make lighty work, starting from this file: http://paste.lighttpd.net/1559 You have to:

Configuration syntax corrections:

  1. Uncomment the PHP-fastcgi section so that it opens and close the right number of parenthesis.
  2. Comment the last line which doesn't return valid configuration data + it's a nonsense (to me)

Configure the service to start:

  1. On fedora core use its tools to STOP every other service that uses the port 80 tcp (i.e. Apache)
  2. Using these tools configure lighttpd as a service to be run on the default runlevel.

A brief explanation about the fedora core service configuration tools can be found here: http://www.fedorafaq.org/basics/#services
