Why don't you have a look at what generates this error?
Probably just a typo in your lighttpd.conf.
Have a look at that file, line 70, third character seem a good place to start ;)

i had a look at the location of that and it was

"nasMaster.pl" => (( “socket” => “/tmp/lighttpd.fcgi.socket”,
“check-local” => “disable”,
))
)

the first bracket, so i deleted it, then it said the other " was wrong, did i type the file in wrong?

EDIT: i think ive really broken it now :( could someone send me the original unedited version to <my username> @gmail.com big thanks to anyone who does

It is possible that the pasted section is using different uninterpretable characters.

For example, do not paste in “check-local” => “disable” rather make sure you paste “check-local” => “disable”. As you can see the quote marks are different because the wiki is trying to be 'intelligent'.

I have included my edited .conf file below. This has been marked with [[code]][[/code]] tags to avoid parsing problems with the wiki.

ah i see very "intelligent", i created that lightppd.conf file and tried rebooting lighttpd to now get this:
[root@MyBook ~]# /etc/init.d/lighttpd.sh restart
Restarting lighttpd: lighttpd.
[root@MyBook ~]# 2008-03-05 17:34:28: (mod_fastcgi.c.892) execve failed for: /opt/bin/php-fcgi No such file or directory
2008-03-05 17:34:28: (mod_fastcgi.c.920) child exited: 2
2008-03-05 17:34:28: (mod_fastcgi.c.923) if you try do run PHP as FastCGI backend make sure you use the FastCGI enabled version.
You can find out if it is the right one by executing 'php -v' and it should display '(cgi-fcgi)' in the output, NOT (cgi) NOR (cli)
For more information check http://www.lighttpd.net/documentation/fastcgi.html#preparing-php-as-a-fastcgi-program
2008-03-05 17:34:28: (mod_fastcgi.c.1200) [ERROR]: spawning fcgi failed.
2008-03-05 17:34:28: (server.c.673) Configuration of plugins failed. Going down.

i would tell you more if i knew what it meant lol, i have so far installed:
php 5.2.5
libxml 2.6.27
lib upnp

i have not done anything else, i have got as far as [http:// http://homepage.ntlworld.com/koolamaster/transmission.html#1.3]step 1.4
