Today I installed lighttpd on my CentOS 5.6 machine attempting to replace httpd.
The things I did:
yum install lighttpd
nano /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf I set the document root to my files
service lighttpd start — [root@forums ~]# Starting lighttpd: 2011-05-20 18:52:34: (network.c.203) socket failed: Address family not supported by protocol
Starting lighttpd: 2011-05-20
18:52:34: (network.c.203) socket
failed: Address family not supported
by protocol
How can I fix this? I really want to try out lighttpd for my forum but I just can't get it to start. Can someone help me please?

Try setting "server.use-ipv6" to disabled and start lighttpd.
It could be trying to load ipv6 settings and the server has ipv6 disabled.
