lighttpd log directory isn't created automatically

[henrik@…]

The directory "/var/log/lighttpd" isn't created automatically when lighttpd is installed. lighttpd won't launch unless it exists.

Did you mean /var/log/lighttpd or ${prefix}/var/log/lighttpd? In most cases, MacPorts should not be creating or using directories outside of ${prefix}.

[henrik@…]

Ok, that makes sense.

Then lighttpd.conf needs to be changed so that the "access.log" and "error.log" variables use the prefixed paths.

[ryandesign@…]

There are a bunch of things that should be changed in lighttpd.conf.default before it's installed:

• server.document-root should be set to a directory inside ${prefix}, like ${prefix}/www
• server.errorlog should be set to ${prefix}/var/log/lighttpd/error.log
• server.event-handler should be set to freebsd-kqueue on platform darwin
• accesslog.filename should be set to ${prefix}/var/log/lighttpd/access.log
• server.username and server.groupname should be set to www

All of the above-mentioned dirs should be created by the port and listed in  destroot.keepdirs so they're not deleted by MacPorts during the destroot phase.
