lighttpd rc.d file broken

If I try to run /etc/rc.d/lighttpd start I always get
:: Checking configuration                                                [DONE]
:: Starting lighttpd                                                     [FAIL]

However I looked in the lighttpd file for what it was running and ran the command:
nohup /usr/sbin/lighttpd-angel -D -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
and the web server works just fine, it seems that the rc.d file is broken somehow but I have no idea how. Is there any way for me to get more information about why it isn't working to help fix it?

The lighttpd-angel.log file is empty, and there are no new entries is the error.log when the server fails to start via rc.d

Re: lighttpd rc.d file broken

As a note for the possibility that my lighttpd.conf is broken I copied the lighttpd.conf.pacnew to lighttpd.conf and the rc.d still failed.

Re: lighttpd rc.d file broken

Solved it, there were some zombie angle processes that were laying around that I didn't notice.
