But once I follow suggestion in FDP Primer chapter 8.3, that installs all documents to /usr/local/www/data. In this case, I have to create apache22 subdirectory under what DESTDIR environment variable points to and mv all data/ into that in order for my apache2 to start quietly. Anyway, I also see that there will be an endless Notes to mention to the readers if we wrote to a specific web-server like apache as you said me. May be that we put a few words to mention further works after ``make all install'' for some specific server or all documents will have to be installed to ~/public_html/data otherwise. Many thanks indeed for your time. Apologized me for disturbing and apologized me for my English too. Best, > Manolis > With best regards, psr.
