Have you tried poll?

On Solaris/OpenSolaris, if you are starting lighttpd as a non-root user and using solaris-devpoll as the event-handler then you'll hit the issue that you describe. Until a fix is in place I'd suggest starting Lighttpd as root and specifying the user/group to run as in the Lighttpd config file. When you do this, Lighttpd does all of it's initialization as root and then starts the Web Server process and any worker processes as the user that you specify. You can then use "solaris-devpoll" as the event-handler which is the recommended option for Solaris. This is a better option than falling back to using "poll" as the event-handler.
Are you using SMF to start Lighttpd? I'm just curious as I started looking into this in response to a problem seen when starting Lighttpd via SMF.

This is a > better option than falling back to using "poll" as the event-handler. if you have 1 single worker (the default) or a few of them, poll and devpoll should be equivalent IMHO; do you have any data to back up the benefits of devpoll over poll in solaris for 1 or a low number of filehandles? I am running lighttpd in Solaris 10 SPARC (v490, 8 x 1350Mhz) with server.max-worker = 128 and doing 900 QPS using poll and 60% CPU idle. for Solaris 10 I would warn against using server.network-backend = sendfilev as there is a bug on it which will lock some of transactions in the kernel and that hasn't been yet fixed AFAIK (I think it was fixed already in OpenSolaris but haven't tested it); server.network-backend = "writev" could be used instead even if it is not the "preferred" method.

i was not starting lighttpd as a root!!! i will try to start the app as root..
what is SMF? is it a better way to start lighttpd?
