I understand the makefile. So I see you tried

make -f posix.mak apidocs-serve LATEST=2.070.2

Let's first try:

make -f posix.mak LATEST=2.070.2

Building the latest documentation in /path/to/dlang.org assumes you have 
/path/to/dmd, /path/to/druntime, and /path/to/phobos synced up. If they 
are out of sync, things won't work.

Regarding the redundant download - I complained about that to Martin 
(particularly since we already have a different mechanism for loading 
specific versions of dmd/druntime/phobos) and he said to not worry about 
it, it's a small download. I mildly disagree with him, but there's only 
so many hours in the day. I'd welcome a PR to fix that.

So get a clean tree and build it. If there are errors paste the output.
