Description Andrew Aylett 2003-02-26 09:37:32 UTC

When apache is emerged, the ebuild installs apache's default "The install was
successful" in the document root, overwriting the pages that were already there.
 IMO, this is bad.  Can it be made so that if there is a website in the document
root already it doesn't get written over?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Execute `emerge apache`


Actual Results:  
The website in /home/httpd/htdocs was partially replaced by apache's default
website.

Expected Results:  
Left the existing website intact.
