BBB - can't use lighttpd

General Discussion
1

I installed lighttpd and I am not able to run it as a command in terminal do I need to set it as an environment variable?

Depending what version you started with, apache2 or nginx is already installed and using port 80… Make sure you disable them, before running lighttpd…

You can also run:

sudo systemctl status lighttpd

to see why it failed…

I can’t find .bash_profile on my BBB.

However I am not able to execute lighttpd from the command line.

Command 'lighttpd' is available in '/usr/sbin/lighttpd'
The command could not be located because '/usr/sbin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.
This is most likely caused by the lack of administrative privileges associated with your user account.
lighttpd: command not found

I was able to start it.

Here is the output. I don’t think it is running now.
