lighttpd.conf

# Example configuration for hosting brat using the Lighttpd 
# (http://www.lighttpd.net/) web server.
#
# Example usage:
#
# 			Adjust the settings in the MANDATORY section, and run lighttpd as:
#
# 			$ lighttpd -D -f lighttpd.conf
#
# 			With the default settings, this will make brat available at 
# 			http://localhost:8080/ 
#
# Note:
# 			The user running lighttpd (or the one specified in server.user when 
# 			started by a super-user) has to have sufficient permissions on brat 
# 			folders.
