Ok...I think i´m getting it.
I originally only wanted to use my linux box for geoserver in tomcat and serve
any webcontent through geoserver/data/www.
As always, things develop and if I am going add security and form interaction
i´m going to have to add php to the whole bundle as well sometime.
I did think that I would able to keep my geoserver/data/www files separate from
anything else on the server and that is what I mean about php having only one
root directory for web content files. If I want to use php for any apps, then i
will have to copy all php files into the apche root (/var/www) and not keep
them
in (var/lib/tomcat&webapps/geoserver/data/www)
I haven´t used apache to serve any web content yet, and have been using the
geoserver/data/www directory to do this .So I didn´t have to worry about which
directory is defined as the server root. In order to use php I will have to
copy my content out of geoserver/data/www and put it into apache´s var/www
directory.
I think i´ll have to try it and see what happens.
thanks again for the infos.
Robert

Betreff: Re: [Geoserver-users] enable php for geoserver document root
Yes. They don't work under /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/geoserver/www when using
geoserver right? Alternatively you can configure apache to
use /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/geoserver/www as the document root. Either way, it
would be apache httpd serving the php and not geoserver.
Apache tomcat is a java application server and does not support php natively.
You have to add support for it which allows it to run php but it is sub-optimal
- apache httpd is better at this.
Apache httpd supports php (and lots of other things) natively and is very fast
at it. It also serves static content much faster too. So you are better off
using it. You can also make apache handle requests for other resources using
mod
proxy like I showed you, or using a connector to run the java stuff.
You can go either way, but what I suggest should be good for you. From the
outside (for openlayers say) everything comes from one URL so there are no
sandbox restrictions, and you hide the actual details behind apache httpd.
I don't really understand your question about php having only one root. Apache
only has one root, but with mod_rewrite you can play all kinds of smoke and
mirror tricks.
