Upgraded to V5, webserver not running

[starneml]

I upgraded to V5 and evrything seems to be working, except I can’t connect to it locally.
When I login with SSH i dont see the lighttpd service running.
When I try to start it, it gives an exception.

Process: 1132 ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/lighttpd -tt -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf (code=exited, status=255/EXCEPTION)

nothing useful in /var/log/lighttpd/error.log

daemon.log says this:
Apr 9 16:11:46 piaware lighttpd[1127]: 2021-04-09 16:11:45: (configfile.c.1289) source: /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/89-skyaware.conf line: 41 pos: 1 parser failed somehow near here: (EOL)

Looking at line 41, i dont see anything wierd

$SERVER[“socket”] == “:8080” {
alias.url += (
“/data/” => “/run/dump1090-fa/”,
“/data-978/” => “/run/skyaware978/”,
“/” => “/usr/share/skyaware/html/”
)
} ------ THIS IS LINE 41

Any ideas how to fix it?

This is mine, works perfectly well. Compare your’s with it, may be you can find the error.
NOTE: This one is NOT an upgrade from previous version.
It is a freshly written Piaware SD card image ver 5.0

 2 # and also to the dynamically-generated json parts that contain aircraft

 7 ## This module is normally already enabled in lighttpd, so you should not
 8 ## need to uncommment this line.
 9 ## There are some cases (e.g. when installing this on a Raspberry Pi
10 ## that runs PiHole) in which the module has been removed from the
11 ## default configuration, and the dump1090-fa web interface no longer
12 ## loads properly.
13 ## If this is what you are experiencing, or if you see messages in your
14 ## error log like:
15 ## (server.c.1493) WARNING: unknown config-key: alias.url (ignored)
16 ## then uncommenting this line and then restarting lighttpd could fix
17 ## the issue.
18 ## This is not enabled by default as standard lighttpd will not start if

Check the result with the following command:

sudo systemctl status lighttpd
and
journalctl -xe

Then post the result here. Could be a permission problem

[wiedehopf]

sudo mv -f /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/89-dump1090-fa.conf.dpkg-dist /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/89-dump1090-fa.conf
sudo systemctl restart lighttpd

Bingo – the replacement of 89-dump1090-fa.conf did the trick.

Thanks!
