rights issue with lighttpd

[Socaltom]

I used to have lighttpd working. I've made a bunch of changes since then, but now I'm having issues that I believe are related to server rights

Here is the error message I'm finding in the log
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
012-11-25 22:44:14: (log.c.118) opening errorlog '/var/log/lighttpd/error.log' failed: Perm$
lighttpd-angel.c.139: child (pid=472) exited normally with exitcode: 255
')
Here are the rights for the directory in question
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@Arch Linux ARM install lighttpd]# ls -l
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 www root 2 Nov 25 14:48 error.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 www root 358 Nov 25 14:47 lighttpd-angel.log
')

Here is my lighttpd.conf file
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
# This is a minimal example config
# See /usr/share/doc/lighttpd
# and http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Docs:ConfigurationOptions

server.port = 80
server.username = "www"
server.groupname = "www"
server.document-root = "/srv/http"
server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"
dir-listing.activate = "enable"
index-file.names = ( "index.html" )
mimetype.assign = ( ".html" => "text/html", ".txt" => "text/plain", ".jpg" => "image$
')

I've used http as a user and group deleted and readded, now I've switched to the www user.
I've tried apache, but it gives me a forbidden 403 error, so I think there is something systemic going on. Any suggestions?
Thanks

What are the permissions for the directory /var/log/lighttpd?

-rw-r--r-- 1 www root 358 Nov 25 14:47 lighttpd-angel.log
')

I believe they should be own by www:www. That's what my log files show.

I updated to chown www:www but still have the same error. Is there another dir that provides the tools door writing?

ls -l /var/log

drwxrwxrwx 2 www www 4096 Nov 25 14:48 lighttpd


')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('xenoxaos', 'l')s -l /var/log

[xenoxaos]

So, both user and group 'www' exist correct? also chown -R www:www /var/log/lighttpd

I don't know if this has anything todo with it but...to get around the glibc issue, I manfully copied /lib to /user/lib, then used webmin to create a link from /lib to/user/lib.
FWIW I an pacman -Syu , but no change to this issue.
