That said: For me, the most interesting part of the article is how webapps should be split according to the FHS, and I still think that this part of the FHS is insane. For example, - customers can't edit or backup config files (over FTP, which (unfortunately) is still the most popular method to access the webspace) if they are in /etc - or, to speak more general: customers are usually chroot'ed to their homedir, which means they can't access anything outside it - being it config in /etc/, documentation in /usr/share/doc/, data in /var/lib/, ...
So the current method of dumping everything in /srv/www is equally useless as files there are owned by root or wwwrun but not by the customer. The shared web hosting case the way you want it can't be coved by distro packages. We don't install packages in /home/* either after all. The correct way would be to have web apps look into /etc if run in "global mode" and in "$HOME" when run in shared/per user mode. IOW just like any other sane Linux program does too. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
