Here is the minimalistic configuration file I've used to do my testings.
--
/etc/lighttpd/test.conf
server.document-root = "/var/www/html/"
server.modules += ( "mod_openssl" )
$SERVER["socket"] == "0.0.0.0:443" {
ssl.engine = "enable"
ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/cert.pem"
ssl.privkey = "/etc/lighttpd/privkey.pem"
ssl.cipher-list = "HIGH"
}
