We also use Apache Server, because it's much better than NCSA, but I don't klnow about CERN. Since it's not part of the Debian distribution we (will) install it under /usr/local/etc/httpd. In this way, if anything goes wrong, and we are forced for some reason to install all over again, we can always "save" non-debian stuff easily: just make a backup of every "local" directory in the system, and all of the configuration files. But, like you, we are clueless about where it "should" go. I think /var/lib is ok... but we usr /usr/local/etc because that's waht NCSA uses (at least version 1.3). > Anyone have any opinions?

Well, Apache is still on develop, but it seems pretty stable at this moment. Here we use a www group for the people who do html stuff, and the server runs under nobody/www, standalone. Since the documentation is not out yet, I'm a bit confused about other stuff (like cookies or custom log files, for example). > If apache would serve your needs, drop me a line. For what he says, Apache may do the work. Just my opinion, -Marcelo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
