To start, stop, or restart the Lighttpd web server on a FreeBSD system, you can use the service
command. The syntax for the service
command is:
service lighttpd [start|stop|restart]
Replace [start|stop|restart]
with the desired action: start
to start the Lighttpd server, stop
to stop the Lighttpd server, or restart
to stop and then start the Lighttpd server.
For example, to start the Lighttpd server, you can run the following command:
service lighttpd start
To stop the Lighttpd server, you can run the following command:
service lighttpd stop
To restart the Lighttpd server, you can run the following command:
service lighttpd restart
Note that the service
command only works if the Lighttpd server is set up to start automatically at boot time. To configure the Lighttpd server to start automatically at boot time, you can add the following line to the /etc/rc.conf
file:
lighttpd_enable="YES"
For more information about the service
command and managing services on FreeBSD, you can refer to the service
man page by running man service
on the command line.
