Lighttpd wont start if I try to start it as root with server.username = "www-data" server.groupname = "www-data" un-commented! Is there a known fix?

May be you have not set setuid bit on your binary? Try looking in syslog and auth log. It must be failing with an error telling you about this.

Yes, I will take a look at the setuid part. Thank you. :)
