i always wondered just why debian apache puts the main homepage of a server into /var/www. /var isn't made for stuff that's persistens like a homepage! in addition, where do virtual hosts go? in general, once a virtual host is defined, one had better defined a virtual host for the primary hostname too so as to make apache work better (my experience). but as soon as server.mydomain.com and virtual.mydomain.com are both hosted by the same server, and are both virtual domains, they should technically be in the same hierarchy. right now, i solve this by having symlinks from /var/www/servername to the homedirectory of the responsible person for the domain, so that the actual data reside on /home. but that's not the way debian handles this, and i am wondering just why? why is debian apache making /var/www be the main directory, and why is debian apache not providing an easily extensible location for virtual domain data? martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; net@madduck -- it said "needs windoze 98 or better," so i installed linux.
