[Bug 731572] [NEW] php5-fpm chokes on missing /var/www

[dolphinaura]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: php5-fpm

When php5-fpm is installed, it looks for a /var/www directory to generate its configuration.
However, php5-fpm is not only used for apache. Other webservers, such as Nginx do not use the /var/www folder as their root. As a result, php5-fpm stops during installation with

and the /var/www folder has to be created in order to install php5-fpm.

Maybe we can make a dialog or something else to let users choose the
directory, or simply create the /var/www folder.
