Webserver should run after reboot of raspberry
Webserver only works once after installing, once the raspberry is rebooted it doesn´t start
When i remove lighttpd and install it again it works until the next reboot
Working Debug: fkgfxgh737
Error Debug: 9ds25yeq7e
What is the output from sudo systemctl status --full --no-pager lighttpd?
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl status --full --no-pager lighttpd

Try sudo /usr/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
That should try to start lighttpd in the foreground and show any start up errors.

It looks like lighttpd can't open a logfile. Do you have any special configurations for /var/ directory, like a ramlog or a remote filesystem? What does sudo ls -la /var/log/lighttpd/ show?
No there is nothing special.
Homebridge is also running on this pi.
Here the result:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo ls -la /var/log/lighttpd/
ls: Zugriff auf '/var/log/lighttpd/' nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
pi@raspberrypi:~ $
That directory needs to exist in order for lighttpd to run. Since you have a debug log from a point where lighttpd was running then either /var/log is not permanent or the SDCard is in read-only mode.
Try sudo mkdir /var/log/lighttpd and then reboot the pi. Check and see if that directory exists after the reboot.
After the reboot the folder is gone.
What can cause this?
Some SDCards that are about to fail will go in to read-only mode so that you can recover the data from them. Any writes are discarded as soon as the Pi is rebooted. It's also possible that the directory is set to be logged to RAM instead of the drive, but you would know of that kind of configuration.
Just to check, see what sudo df -h and sudo mount shows for /var/log/ or just /var/.
If the sd card is read only would I be able to install pihole ? Here the results:

It looks like it may be a mounting problem instead of a bad card. The temporary file system for the /var/log partition is set to none instead of tmpfs to store the changes. What does sudo cat /etc/fstab show for the automounting configuration?
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo cat /etc/fstab
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p6 /boot vfat defaults 0 2
/dev/mmcblk0p7 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
# a swapfile is not a swap partition, no line here
# use dphys-swapfile swap[on|off] for that
none /var/log tmpfs size=5M,noatime 00
pi@raspberrypi:~ $
i removed this line and now lighttpd works as expected.
I found some infos about reducing sd card write access for this line. Any suggestions how both can work together?
Personally I don't think there's an issue with the modern Raspberry Pi and Raspbian Stretch. But everyone has their own opinion on the matter.
Ok, thank you very much for your great help!
