Unless the configuration is changed, this new server is configured as follows:
<ul>
<li>
Configuration files can be found in <span class="tt">/etc/lighttpd</span>.
Please read <span class="tt">/etc/lighttpd/conf-available/README</span> file.
</li>
<li>
The DocumentRoot, which is the directory under which all the HTML files should exist,
is set to <span class="tt">/var/www</span>.
</li>
<li>
CGI scripts are looked for in <span class="tt">/usr/lib/cgi-bin</span>,
which is where Ubuntu packages will place their scripts.
Enable cgi module by using command <span class="bold tt">"lighty-enable-mod cgi"</span>.
</li>
<li>
Log files are placed in <span class="tt">/var/log/lighttpd</span>,
and will be rotated weekly. The frequency of rotation can be easily changed by editing
<span class="tt">/etc/logrotate.d/lighttpd</span>.
</li>
<li>
The default directory index is <span class="tt">index.html</span>,
meaning that requests for a directory <span class="tt">/foo/bar/</span>
will give the contents of the file /var/www/foo/bar/
index.html if it exists (assuming that <span class="tt">/var/www</span> is your DocumentRoot).
</li>
<li>
Enable user directories by using command <span class="bold tt">"lighty-enable-mod userdir"</span>
</li>
</ul>
