## Modifying lighttpd configuration

First, change the listen port in this file: `/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf:`
create your config file: `/etc/lighttpd/conf-available/04-caddy.conf` with the following content

```lighttpd
server.port = 1080
server.port := 1080
```

In this case, port 1080 was chosen at random. You can use a custom port.

link it to `/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled` folder

So if you want a permanent method of changing the lighttpd port and your lighttpd version >= 1.4.46, you can overwrite the port in: `/etc/lighttpd/external.conf` (note the different syntax!):

```lighttpd
server.port := 1080
```bash
> ln -s /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/04-caddy.conf /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/04-caddy.conf

if your lighttpd is throwing the following error:

```
network.c.369) can't bind to socket: [::]:80: Permission denied
```

please check file `/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf`

```lighttpd
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/use-ipv6.pl " + server.port
```

is executed before the line:

```lighttpd
include "/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/*.conf"
```

Update `lighttpd.conf` from:

```lighttpd
# default listening port for IPv6 falls back to the IPv4 port
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/use-ipv6.pl " + server.port
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/create-mime.conf.pl"
include "/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/*.conf"
```

to:

```lighttpd
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/create-mime.conf.pl"
include "/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/*.conf"
# default listening port for IPv6 falls back to the IPv4 port
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/use-ipv6.pl " + server.port
```
