Notes:
1. I've read the manual entry, and multiple threads related to this, more than
once.
2. The “chroot location” as defined in /etc/lighttpd.conf. is unchanged -
/var/www
3. Someone suggested, and I also tried "/var/www/" - same error.
4. As previously noted - Stuart's answer was tested on a clean, unmodified,
lighttpd.conf.
5. As previously noted I also tried removing "nodev" from /etc/fstab on line
"/var ffs

Did you either reboot or remount /var after changing this?
Yes. Reboot.
Try this:
$ cat /var/www/dev/null
It should just return to the prompt (same as "cat /dev/null").
If it says "Device not configured" then for some reason it still
seems to be mounted with nodev. (Or check "mount | grep /var")..
If that test works, what's the output from
# rcctl -d start lighttpd
and what, if any, new entries in lighttpd's error log do you have?
