This is almost assuredly because darkhttpd is not writing its PID
file. If you fix that, you should be fine.

Permission error tells me that the daemon is dropping root before
writing the PID file, which is not exactly wrong, but causes problems
in this case. Either in the init script, or in the daemon prior to
dropping priveleges, make sure to create the PID file with the correct
priveleges so it can later be written to when darkhttpd is not root.
Simply adding the following in the start action of the init file,
prior to starting the daemon, should do the trick:
touch "$PIDFILE"
chown www-data:www-data "$PIDFILE"
Good luck,
