Subject: [PATCH][packages] lighttpd: errorlog failed if running as non root user

(log.c.118) opening errorlog '/var/log/lighttpd/server.log' failed: Permission denied
if running as non root user (what's should be the default on web-servers).

Fix: create log directory only if not exist and chmod 777 to allow anyone 
to write and create files inside default log directory
