Bug#314808: /usr/share/PACKAGE/www
I think /usr/share/PACKAGE/www is rather long and clumsy.
May I suggest a /web directory.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-webapps/2005/06/msg00029.html
The Web application can then store files based on /web/HTTP_HOST.
/usr/share/PACKAGE/www doesn't account for the possibility that more than
one website will use the package. The data will tend to be site specific
and hence using the environment variable HTTP_HOST is sensible.
For example:
/web/example.com
http://example.com/
It encourages a strong link to the URL.
Things like http://example.com/blog with a link to /usr/share/wordpress
can't really be done because you would need to account for the
REQUEST_URI.
I feel comfortable enough to suggest that each web application should
have it's own HTTP_HOST aka domain. So each Web app will require use of
subdomains off one domain host.
This allows Web applications the full freedom to use REQUEST_URI of
which many are designed to do already. This keeps URLs consistent and
makes URL editing easier.
