Each webserver (or other daemon or server) has the directory structure it's authors devised by default. This can usually be customies by a Sys Admin to suit the directory structure that meets their organisations needs (and/or standards). As Apache uses documentroot to set the root directory of the web server, it can therefore have it anywhere - you don't need to use the default.
I don't /home is my biggest partition and the one I want to preserve between upgrades and distro changes etc.. so my docroot is /home/www with /home/www/html and /home/www/cgi-bin ..etc.. following this structure. Putting my production web server in /var with all the log files just didn't seem the right place to me (obviously the initial static web site apache creates by default is different). Just my 2c worth Russ _______________________________________________ arch mailing list arch@archlinux.org http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
