Public bug reported: Binary package hint: lighttpd
The /etc/init.d/lighttpd script has this line for starting the daemon: if ! start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background\ --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS ; then .... As lighttpd already backgrounds itself, the --background argument is unnecessary. The only result is that (config) errors reported by the daemon become invisible. ** Affects: lighttpd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- init.d script backgrounds; makes errors invisible https://launchpad.net/bugs/80983 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
