I successfully upgraded to Rails 1.1., but now when I point my browser  
to localhost:3000, I get a the following:

Routing Error

Recognition failed for â?/rails\_info/propertiesâ?

Whatâ??s the best fix for this?

I solved this by creating a new project. Then I copied those files  
that I had changed over to the new project.

This can happen when upgrading from a pre-1.0 project, or when you’ve  
got an old copy of the dispatcher.  
You can re-run the (new version of the) “rails” command on your  
project (“rails .” when your working directory is your RAILS\_ROOT).  
Allow it to overwrite any file you haven’t customized, and that should  
fix it.

Tried that, William; no dice. Further, I created a new project called  
test. When I ran ruby script/server within that directory, I came up  
with the following error:

=\> config/lighttpd.conf not found, copying from

Is there something I need to tweak or update with the lighttpd web  
server?
