----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 The default configuration file is not well suited for OS X or Macports. We
 should provide a sane default, so users easily can start using the
 package.

 The config-file in Macports, looks like it's been taken directly out of
 SLES/SuSELinux.

 server.document-root, should be something inside macports, like
 /opt/local/www/htdocs, or /opt/local/www/data.

 the user/gid, should be the user created by macports, "_www", not
 "wwwrun".



 The config should be usable almost out of the box. Novice users will spend
 many hours debugging theese things, and then turn to the irc-channel or
 such for help. Maybee they will end up not using lighttpd at all, or use
 it on a system with "easier to use" packages.

 It is very nice that the port has a launchdaemon launcer.
