[Buildroot] [PATCH] lighttpd: use standard web root directory

[spdawson at gmail.com]

From: Simon Dawson <spdawson@gmail.com>

The lighttpd package uses /srv/www as its web root directory; this sets it
apart from other web-related packages in Buildroot, which all use /var/www
as their web root directory.

  This seems to imply that the actual server root (i.e. what http://hostname/ is
pointing to) is /var/www/htdocs, not /var/www.  So that's still different from
the other packages. But I'm not familiar enough with lighttpd config to be sure.

  Regards,
  Arnout

[Buildroot] [PATCH] lighttpd: use standard web root directory

Thanks for the comments Arnout.

This was part of the original lighttpd "fix config file" patch, so I
can't say what the motivation was. It certainly looks to be
unnecessary.

Well spotted; I'll fix my patch and resubmit.

Having thought about this, it looks like it was probably done in case
some other package were to log to /var/log/access.log, which seems not
unlikely. But elsewhere in the patch, the log root directory is
changed from the default /var/log/lighttpd to /var/log; were this not
changed, the log file rename would be unnecessary.

My intention is to leave this as it is for now: any other tinkering
with the configuration should probably be done in a separate patch.
