Default lighttpd.conf "index-file.names" value error

[Serge Matveenko]

Default lighttpd.conf file contains typo error in the "index-file.name" value causing default index file not to display.

It is now

"""
index-file.names = ( "index.php", "index.html",
                                "index.htm", "default.htm",
                               " index.lighttpd.html" )
"""

But should be

"""

index-file.names = ( "index.php", "index.html",
                                "index.htm", "default.htm",
                                "index.lighttpd.html" )
"""

Notice space inside last file name after opening quote.

Also I've noticed that this is true for Debian Squeeze too.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hi all.

Its now March 2014, and I have spent 4 hours tracking down why a fresh lighttpd install on Ubuntu server 12.04 would not display the placeholder page. I came to find that it was the extra space in the index.lighttp.html definition in the valid index names list.

What helped me find out what was happening, was that the lighttpd install on a Debian wheezy system running on a Raspberry Pi system worked properly. The solution only came about because of a careful perusal of the 2 lighttpd.conf files.

Perhaps its time to correct the problem? Its been over 2 1/2 years.

Thanks... Tom.
