Following the instructions from http://webpy.org/install and http://webpy.org/docs/0.3/tutorial I had setup Lighttpd.
However, when running the demo code the following error was received
2013-03-17 23:04:19: (mod_fastcgi.c.1490) released proc: pid: 8806 socket: unix:/var/tmp/lighttpd/fastcgi.socket-0 load: 0
2013-03-17 23:14:50: (mod_fastcgi.c.1732) connect failed: Connection refused on unix:/var/tmp/lighttpd/fastcgi.socket-0
2013-03-17 23:14:50: (mod_fastcgi.c.454) backend disabled for 1 seconds
2013-03-17 23:14:50: (mod_fastcgi.c.3002) backend died; we'll disable it for 1 seconds and send the request to another backend instead: reconnects: 0 load: 1
Checking the script showed that it was working correctly and no useful information was appearing in error.log
The following config option was then added to lighttpd.conf
server.breakagelog = "/var/log/lighttpd/breakage.log"
This gives the much more useful
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named flup.server.fcgi
This was unexpected as I had already used easy_install to install flup, but upon checking could find no evidence of it being installed
The latest egg was downloaded from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/flup and installed using easy_install.
The installation process was then checked by making sure flup could be imported.
