I think I misread your original problem before.  Are you stating that
while doing the install, in what you had as /var/www (as in original
install) while setting up partitions, that when you go to edit that one,
it showed as /var instead of /var/www?

I think I have witnessed what you do, as in /boot, /, and /home
sometimes show up as /boot1, /1, and /home1.  I never knew why/how it
did that.
