What do I do about the error.log problem?
I'm running as root - so a permissions problem would seem impossible.
Unless lighttpd is changing the User from root to something else ...
NOTE: I did observe that the new User I added, dmc1, wasn't in Wheel
(just added it).
I'm not sure how lighttpd knows dmc1 is even there - I believe that
lighttpd was installed as root -
before I added the dmc1 user.

Sorry about the old error.log - I didn't even look at the date or
time. My bad.
Keeping locals updated about an escaped inmate atm ...
I did notice in /etc/group "_lighttpd:*585:" - is that correct and in
any way relevant?

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
rw,nosuid 1 2"
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?
