I'm setting up lighty according to this guide, and I don't really have an use for the lighttpd daemon that was installed (this is the one that resides in /etc/init.d/lighttpd). I don't want a webserver running all the time, except when I'm working. I want to just call lighttpd -Df lighttpd.conf when I need to.
How can I disable this ?

To remove startup programs in Ubuntu, follow the given steps. Step 1: Click on “Startup Application” and launch Startup Program Preference. Step 2: From the list of programs, choose the startup program you want to get removed. Step 3: From the top-right side of the window, hit “Remove”.
You can also check Lighttpd by visiting the URL http://your-server-ip on your web browser. You should see the Lighttpd default page per the following screen: The main configuration file for Lighttpd is located at /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.
You can disable lighttpd on boot with the following command.
sudo update-rc.d -f lighttpd remove
This is a script which will remove the lighttpd start up script from the following locations:
/etc/rc0.d
/etc/rc1.d
/etc/rc2.d
/etc/rc3.d
/etc/rc4.d
/etc/rc5.d
/etc/rc6.d
/etc/rcS.d
Hope that helps
