What does this PR aim to accomplish?:

use /etc/lighttpd/external.conf is invalid. Changing default listening port of lighttpd in Raspberry Pi OS no longer honors external.conf

How does this PR accomplish the above?:

in folder /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/ create your config file and link it to folder /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled.

solution can't bind to socket: [::]:80 error : The file lighttpd.conf is loading /usr/share/lighttpd/use-ipv6.pl before conf-enabled folder, thus using the default server.port.

Came here to contribute the same thing, happy to see someone has it :) I don't think the linking isn actually necessary though; I was able to do this just by creating a file /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/map_to_1080.conf. (The filename can be arbitrary.)

No. Your approach is more labor-saving. but mine is common. Otherwise, why design two folders? conf-enabled and conf-available

FYI: this was reported upstream and fixed a year ago in Debian's configuration. Debian and derivatives are always slow in picking up changes and improvements.
