What installs 50-piaware.conf?

Which script or package installs, or is supposed to install 50-piaware.conf for lighthttpd?

Background - I did an install on a clean Raspi OS install today, and used apt-get to install piaware, dump1090-fa and dump978-fa. Actually, it was via an ansible script, but should be basically the same under the covers. Everything seemed fine, piaware, dump1090-fa and dump978-fa are running but I’m not getting the normal Starting web page which runs “status.json” – I can copy it from another (older) piaware install, but I’d like to do this “right” if possible.

ansible setup script below…

piaware-web i believe…

Weidehopf – Thank you!!! That worked!

TapTapTap – FlightAware people… Seems like that should be included on this page:

Also, IMO @wiedehopf - your tar1090 should be “the” replacement for dump1090’s defaults – good stuff! Thanks!

This package is usually only installed on sdcard images since it takes over the top-level page and makes some assumptions about what’s running, neither of which are necessarily appropriate for a Raspbian system that might be running other things too. But you can probably install it on a package-based install without problems.
