That depends on what user you have got lighttpd running as. If it's the default, _lighttpd, then that yser needs to be able to write to the log file that lighttpd is configured to use. Seems the port docs, or perhaps defaults, could do with some tweaks as there are definitely some things which are not obvious (/dev/null and not mounting nodev) and are a bit hard to figure out unless you know OpenBSD. But you might want to pick a different web server if you're needing help with file permissions etc as there's a lot more documentation you can find online for e.g. nginx or apache httpd than lighttpd.
