Really, the only thing that matters is keeping them in a way that makes sense and makes it easy to keep them apart and easy to address. Mayn of our servers host several domains and almost al of these have a virtual host web page. We create an account for most of our virtual hosts (because there is a different person working on the web page for each) and then the home page for each virtual host then gets put in the directory 'web' in each of those home directories. eg ~accoutn_homedir/web/index.html" or whatever For the servers themselves we follow a convention of installing Apache in '/usr/local/web/...' Everything, from binaries to config files to logs all fall under that. The only thing outside of that is the "apache.sh" in "/usr/local/rc.d" The servers own web pages start in "/usr/local/web/documents" I have seen some really convoluted setups with bits an pieces strung out in /usr/sbin/... and /etc/... and other places. I can only imagine the annoyance of managing those. ////jerry > > -- > > end > > Respectfully, > Kirk D Bailey > > > +---------------------"Thou Art Free." -Eris-----------------------+ > | http://www.howlermonkey.net mailto:highprimate@howlermonkey.net | > | KILL spam dead! http://www.scambusters.org/stopspam/#Pledge | > | http://www.tinylist.org +--------+ mailto:grumpy@tinylist.org | > +------------------Thinking| NORMAL |Thinking----------------------+ > +--------+ > ------------------------------------------- > Introducing NetZero Long Distance > Unlimited Long Distance only $29.95/ month! > Sign Up Today! www.netzerolongdistance.com > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
