www-servers/apache places the 'icons' and 'error' folders in /var/www/localhost/ rather than using them from /usr/share/apache2/ which would be more sensible. On a side note, what should be /usr/share/apache2/ is actually named based on its version and revision, i.e. /usr/share/apache-2.2.11-r2/ - the only other applications I have that do this are aclocal, automake and glib - the rest of the folders are simply named after the application without any versioning. Inside /usr/share/apache-2.2.11-r2/, there is a folder titled 'webroot' which ironically contains what seems to be 'cgi-bin', 'error', 'htdocs' and 'icons' at their original state as they were found after the application was compiled. I believe that the 'icons' and 'error' folders should be used from /usr/share/apache2/ and not copied to /var/www/localhost/ as these more important apache backend folders are seldom edited, plus, if accidentally deleted, the application would either require a recompilation, or knowledge of the original files located at /usr/share/apache-2.2.11-r2/ to restore its full functionality. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -av apache 2. ls /var/www/localhost/ 3. important folders are found under the varying /var/www/ directory
Thank you for report. Assigning on maintainers.
