[SOLVED] lighttpd can't find /dev/null?
UPDATE: solution is in the thread below!
I'm trying to use lighttpd on OpenBSD 6.9, but when I try to run it with the default settings, I get the following: Code:
2021-06-11 19:12:31: configfile.c.1380) opening /dev/null failed: No such file or directory 2021-06-11 19:12:31: server.c.1509) Opening errorlog failed. Going down. Anyone had this happen before, and any tips on where to start looking? (I can confirm that /dev/null exists  , and is world-readable...)

The solution is here (courtesy of gumnos on Reddit):,
...but the short version is that, since lighttpd is chrooted, you have to create a /dev/null device within the chroot location (default is /var/www/).
