how to start lighttpd and mysqld on bootup via systemd?

hello,

i can start them with "systemctl start lighttpd.service" and  "systemctl start mysqld.service" in terminal,
but if i try "systemctl enable lighttpd.service" or "systemctl enable mysqld.service" it says:

Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory

also i could not find any of this service files on my system to link them manually...

Therein lies your problem.  Systemd is very much a work in progress.  See this wiki page for a mysql service file.  I am not sure one has been written for lighttpd yet.

@65kid

thanks for the hint... now i understand

# systemctl status lighttpd.service
lighttpd.service
      Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/lighttpd)
      Active: inactive (dead)
      CGroup: name=systemd:/system/lighttpd.service

# systemctl status mysqld.service
mysqld.service
      Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/mysqld)
      Active: inactive (dead)
      CGroup: name=systemd:/system/mysqld.service

EDIT: ist there still a way to start during bootup?

Gentoo might have something useful here; http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Systemd#lighttpd

interesting, didn't know that systemd does that automatically. Nevertheless, native service files are always better. put them in /etc/systemd/system and "enable" should work fine.
