Lighttpd, MacPorts and the SSL error

  August 5th, 2010

After installing lighttpd on my Mac via MacPorts with the following command:

sudo port install lighttpd +ssl +cml

I get the following error:

(network.c.529) SSL: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0)

The fix is to patch lighttpd before MacPorts compiles it:

sudo port uninstall lighttpd +ssl +cml
sudo port fetch lighttpd +ssl +cml
sudo port -d extract lighttpd +ssl +cml
cd  /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_www_lighttpd/work/lighttpd-1.4.26
curl http://redmine.lighttpd.net/attachments/download/1095/08-ssl-retval-fix.patch | sudo patch -p1
cd / && sudo port install lighttpd +ssl +cml

The SSL error is now gone!
