lighttpd.conf default page problem.

## a static document-root, for virtual-hosting take look at the
## server.virtual-* options
server.document-root        = "/srv/www/htdocs"

the problem I am having is, if I leave the above option alone, then I have to access my server at http://ipaddress/~lighttpd/html

but if I change the line to "/home/lighttpd/html" then just going to http://ipaddress works fine. It brings up the default page.

why does arch not change this default config file if you are gonna insist on adding a user during the install of lighty? Is there some special reason for this? Will this mess up mod_users if I change this document-root to /home/lighttpd/html?
