Re: /var/www or /var/web
The point and not.
1) debian default installation is for the default user.
default user can simply want to have a localhost with php on it for
development.
So installing on /var/www is good for him.
2) webservers
For a webserver (serves only one vhost) default /var/www is most of
times ok.
3) webhosting
These kind of implementations are setup according to the desire of the
IT person who maintains it. I, for example, like to have
a /srv/www/vhost , a /srv/svn(/vhost), etc .
like ftp servers point the anonymous user to /home/ftp , webserver point
default behaviour to /var/www.
This is good for default instalations.
Power users should change as they pleased. I think /srv is meant to this
in cases of webhosting or serving any kind of service (for example file
serving)
