Description Karl Trygve Kalleberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-01-17 10:44:19 UTC 
All current apache ebuilds (1.3.20-rX, 1.3.22-rX) put the documentroot in
/usr/local. This is contractory to the FHS, which states that /usr/local is
reserved for the local system administrator.

We should set (and install) documentroot to /var/www or /var/apache/www or
something instead.

Even better would be to let the admin put the root in /etc/rc.conf.
Comment 2 Leo Lipelis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-02-08 08:35:04 UTC 
Going to take a stab at this.

Hmm.. read cvs log (shoulda done it first) and it looks like woodchip is working
on it.  Assigning back to woodchip.

Hmmm... shouldn't /usr/local/httpd be /opt/apache instead?
