I've oppened a support ticket because from nowhere my site went off, the only thing i did was download an automatic backup file through ftp.

The guy that takes care of our linode stuff isn't reachable, so if anyone can help...

Linode support told me that the problem is:

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you're experiencing. It looks like, from your console, that your web server is not starting properly due to a missing directory:

---
Starting web server: lighttpd.
2010-12-18 06:56:12: (mod_compress.c.139) can't stat compress.cache-dir /var/tmp/lighttpd/cache/comp
ress/ No such file or directory
2010-12-18 06:56:12: (server.c.862) Configuration of plugins failed. Going down.
---

You can see this from the AJAX Console or LISH using the "Remote Acess" tab of the Linode Manager. I would recommend that you determine why this directory is missing or if there are any issues with the module referenced. You may also want to view your web server's log files to check for any errors.

linode support recommended me to come here and ask you guys from the boards for any help since i can't reach the friend who takes care of this for us!

can anyone help, any info on how can i solve this will be great!

I'm not an expert at lighthttpd, but it would seem that your configuration files has a setting like this:

compress.cache-dir = "/var/tmp/lighttpd/cache/comp"

Now, the directory referred to in this configuration statement doesn't exist, which is why lighthttpd is complaining and refusing to start.

The solution may be as simple as just creating this path, like this:

mkdir -p /var/tmp/lighttpd/cache/comp

And then attempt to start it again. Otherwise, you might have to find a different/correct path for compress.cache-dir.
