Fails again. It still uses /var/www/html as the document root.

Any ideas?

Most probably the port is already used.

set web_port="12345" or some other free port in /etc/webfsd.conf and you should have your server running on that port.

I think that this is not an issue and it should be closed.

The service script (in /etc/init.d/webfs) is the problem. It doesn't stops or reload the daemon. You must kill the process and then start it again.
