Hi Jeff, At this time, the prior Vyatta releases have 2 initialization scripts for the lighttpd daemon -- the default one that came with the lighttpd debian package which is '/etc/init.d/lighttpd', and the custom Vyatta lighttpd initialization script which is '/opt/vyatta/sbin/lighttpd.init'.
In order for the Vyatta webgui to work properly, it must be started with the Vyatta lighttpd initialization script rather than the one that comes with the lighttpd debian package, otherwise the problem that you're seeing now occurs. Proper operation of the Vyatta webgui involves synchronous operation of 2 daemons, and for this reason the webgui should only be enabled from the router configuration, as there are special custom scripts invoked by the configuration system to handle the startup of the daemons. So my question for you, did you try to start the GUI manually by invoking '/etc/init.d/lighttpd' from the root bash shell? If so, then that's what caused the problem you're seeing now. Do you have the webgui configured in the router configuration? Please send your configuration file, and specify the Vyatta release you're using.

When you run: ps -ef | grep lighttpd What is the output? When the web-gui has been started properly, there should be a process referencing the following: /opt/vyatta/etc/lighttpd.conf Can you also run: ls -l /etc/rc?.d |grep http and see if there are any symlinks pointing to the default lighttpd location (/etc/init.d/lighttpd)?
