Hi!

Thanks to all of you for a bunch of great guides and to Oleg ofc.

My problem now is this: I am running a webserver via lighttpd and have set the server port to 80. This is in conflict with something called "httpd vlan1" that runs as a process or service. I am able to kill it via


killall httpd
but it starts up almost as soon as i have killed it. When I'm fast then I am able to kill the httpd vlan1 and half a second later being able to start lighttpd properly with port 80 working and everything.

I'd love to get rid of this "httpd vlan1" thing since it's the root of my problem but I don't know how to get rid of it since i don't know where it actually comes from.

So if anyone can help me removing this (as long as it's safe of course :) ) please, I'd be a happy man!

"httpd vlan1" is the server that is responsible for running the main router webgui. This process should always be running. Why do you need lighttpd running on port 80? Do you need it to be that way for both internal and external access? Right now I have lighttpd running quite happy on port 8080.

EDIT: You should be able to use this link to change the web administration port.

I wanted it at port 80 for external usage. As far as i understand it I have to have port 80 for www-http. If I don't use port 80 and instead 8080 or something then I have to specify this in my browser every time right?

I've tried with other ports but I don't want to specify the port every time and that's why i wanted port 80.

Seems like that link you gave me might work in my case! Thanks a lot for your help!
