Normally that's all there is to it. However, during restarts of the application server lighttpd will show a default 503 (service unavailble) error page. As this is a normal maintenance event we want something a bit more informative. This is simple enought; just create a directory to hold the custom error page (I put it in /etc/lighttpd/error-html) and add a page called '503.html' with the custom message. Then add the line:
server.errorfile-prefix = "/etc/lighttpd/error-html/"
