I scan open port on my GL-MT300N-V2 is only:
ssh 22
dns 53
no http (80) is closed
I log into router via ssh (macOS)

Is process exist after lighttpd start?
root@GL-MT300N-V2:~# ps |grep -i lighttpd
3179 root 4796 S /usr/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Has the process opened a port?
root@GL-MT300N-V2:~# netstat -lp

Is your output netstat complete? It looks like lighttpd starts and exits immediately.
Perhaps some process is already holding port 80. Please, try this:
root@GL-MT300N-V2:~# netstat -lp | grep www
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:www 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3206/lighttpd

Can I see the contents of your config file?
root@GL-MT300N-V2:~# cat /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Does the configuration test pass?
root@GL-MT300N-V2:~# /usr/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf -tt

Which will show starting lighttpd manually? Execute this command, and try access to router from browser, please:
root@GL-MT300N-V2:~# /usr/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf -D

Did you ever configure anything else on the router?

Is it possible that I can do a remote check using teamviewer? You can pm me if that is possible.

Yes via TV or AnyDesk, your email(?)
