How to make lighttpd start manually on Ubuntu 15.04?

Question

linux

I asked a question on the toaster - How to remove lighttpd from autostart in Ubuntu 15.04?
there they suggested a working solution:
sudo systemctl disable lighttpd , and after rebooting the server really doesn’t work, but you can’t start it with the sudo service lighttpd start command either.
To start it is necessary:
​​sudo systemctl enable lighttpd and reboot, then the server is again constantly running.
In previous versions of Ubuntu, I removed it from startup:
sudo update-rc.d -f lighttpd remove and started / stopped when necessary with the
sudo service lighttpd start / stop command.
I do not want the server to always hang at startup, but I also want to start / stop on command without rebooting the computer when necessary. Suggest a solution.

Answer 2

you have some "porridge"
in the new Ubuntu, a fresh system for working with services appeared - systemd, it replaced the old init system (you can read more for example here )
systemctl - one of the utilities for working with daemons
sudo systemctl enable lighttpd- adds a service to autostart, then same, but disable - disables autostart
to start the daemon manually use
sudo update-rc.d -f lighttpd removeand sudo service lighttpd start/stoprefer to the "old" daemon startup system -
use init only systemctl and you'll be fine
