apache
Hmm. I think I'll have to subscribe to debian-devel real soon now,
(but not on this address!) chances are this has been beaten to death already..

Doesn't cern-httpd do this? I think it creates a group called "www-data".

Well, my views on this are:
o a /var/httpd/htdocs for the documents
Remember apache can be a server for multiple domains. That's why
we need a 2-level directory structure; you might get
/var/httpd/htdocs-customer2
/var/httpd/htdocs-customer3
as "htdocs" base directory for other virtual domains.
o cgi-bin: /usr/lib/httpd/cgi-bin
o icons: /usr/lib/httpd/icons
o maintenance scripts: /usr/lib/httpd/crons (or maint, whatever)
(I have some nice ones)
o logfiles: /var/log/httpd/....
again, preferably not in /var/log itself because there might be
lots of virtual domains.
o where do htpasswd & friends go? /usr/bin ? /usr/lib/httpd/bin ?

Yes, the config file for cern should be renamed to /etc/cern-httpd.conf (or
something); I usually have both servers running, cern as a proxy and apache
for the real work.
