The "AppleTV" service is not required to be running for the machine to function... it is only required to launch frappliances (XBMC, NitoTV, etc...) and provide the GUI interface, which is unnecessary for a webserver. To do this, do 'chmod -x /Applications/AppleTV.app/AppleTV' followed by a 'killall AppleTV' You should be good to go!

Unfortunately in the last step I get an error: After typing lighttpd-angel -f /etc/lighttpd.conf I get this error (even if in the directory /usr/sbin): "can't find username lighttpd". I'm a total newbie, perhaps someone can help me. Really a great idea and a much better tutorial than on the mac mini vault page.
