accessing http://servername brings default Lighttpd 'Placeholder page' /var/www/index.lighttpd.html ; in my case server.document-root = "/var/www"
I want to see a 'logo' page as a start page instead. How can I do that?
The DietPi install is customized for DietPi, and has been modified to work better with other applications. Have you tried deleting the placeholder page?
Yes, I'm going to the hostname of the server. If I go to the IP address of the server I'm getting the 'logo page'.
I have the following added in external.conf (it was partial copy/paste from another my installation where I've added https support per forum instructions):
$HTTP["host"] == "servername.lan" {
# Ensure the Pi-hole Block Page knows that this is not a blocked domain
setenv.add-environment = ("fqdn" => "true")
}
EDIT:
Sorted out - the above-mentioned external.conf was ignored on DietPi install since it should be explicitly included in the main configuration file. Copy/pasted from the 'normal' install: # Add user chosen options held in external file
include_shell "cat external.conf 2>/dev/null"
and also"mod_setenv" should be added to server.modules= block.
