I hope somebody has the answer to this problem...

The whole idea for running a webserver is to control functions on my phone (like making a phone call, get current battery status, shut it down or reboot it, send a SMS etc. etc. with the use of Python).

I am writing a web interface for all these things, but after boot up or reboot the webserver should automaticly come online...

I am not an expert on upstart but I have battled through a couple of unexpected behaviours...

If it starts OK using "start lighttpd" then maybe the trigger is causing the problem. Maybe, on your system rcS doesn't finish (or doesn't finish properly, or something)? Try replacing the

Code:
start on stopped rcS
with something else. I suggest trying some of the following...

Code:
start on MOUNTS_OK
Code:
start on started hildon-desktop
Code:
start on starting rcS
Although, if that is the problem, you have other problems as a number of other servers also try to start on "stopped rcS"!

If that is not the problem, the other possibility is that the environment is wrong, somehow. See if you can get any useful error messages by replacing the "exec..." command with a "script" containing something like this (not tested, sorry):

Code:
script
 echo "Trying to start lighttpd at `date`" >/tmp/lighttpd.log
 /usr/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd.conf >>/tmp/lighttpd.log 2>&1
end script
The look at /tmp/lighttpd.log after rebooting to see if it has any useful hints.

Thanks for all the help!

I finally solved my problem, this is my upstart script:

Code:
description "lighttpd - a lightweight web server"

start on started wlancond
stop on starting shutdown

console output

script
    while [ ! -e /home/user/MyDocs/web ]; do
        sleep 5
    done

    echo "Starting lighttpd (`date`)..." > /tmp/lighttpd.log

    /usr/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd.conf >> /tmp/lighttpd.log 2>&1
end script
My document-root of the web server was not ready mounted when it started up, so first there is a check before it starts lighttpd...
