Fix DD-WRT Lighttpd error “(server.c.1105) fdevent_init failed” on Asus WL-500

Tonight I was messing with my Asus WL-500 and was having trouble getting lighttpd to start. I found some post in russian that I was able to decypher thanks to my excellent linguist skills (haha). Anyway, it’s pretty easy.

# ipkg install nano

# nano /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

and then change

# server.event-handler = «freebsd-kqueue» # needed on OS X

to

server.event-handler = «poll» # needed on OS X

After changing this, lighttpd started right up with fastcgi php.
