I have lighttpd, mongrel, and WEBrick all installed, but I can only run WEBrick and mongrel. When I run the following: $ rails raillist $ cd raillist $ ruby script/server lighttpd =\> Booting Mongrel =\> Rails 2.3.5 application starting on [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000) =\> Call with -d to detach =\> Ctrl-C to shutdown server or… $ ruby script/server webrick =\> Booting WEBrick =\> Rails 2.3.5 application starting on [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000) =\> Call with -d to detach =\> Ctrl-C to shutdown server [2009-12-29 03:01:25] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1 [2009-12-29 03:01:25] INFO ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12) [i486-linux] [2009-12-29 03:01:25] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=14776 port=3000 How can I start lighttpd?
