Dear friends,
I have an installation of Archlinux running on RPi via an SD card.
To reduce the writes to the SD I have mounted the /var filesystem on tmpfs.
For this reason when I try to start lighttpd as per the default install it will fail since it cannot find a /var/log/lighttpd directory writeable by the default http.http user.
What is the best solution for this ? I really would not like to move /var to the SD.
Thank you very much in advance.

You Sir are a genius ! 
After some frantic googling I have written a /etc/tmpfiles.d/lighttpd.conf file with the following single line:
d /var/log/lighttpd 0755 http http - -
and with this lighttpd with the default configuration starts like a charm
I wonder if this little file should be included in the lighttpd package for people like me running /var/log on tmpfs
Take care and thanks a lot.
