Good topic. Why do web apps not adhere to the traditional layout we are used to anyways? [...] Why not keep the default document root /srv/www/htdocs clean and put horde to e.g. /usr/share/horde4, it's config files to /etc/horde4 and it's database or whatever variable data it has to /var/lib/horde4?
Short answer: Try to setup some web apps with the file structure you proposed, and you'll find out that it's somewhere between difficult and insane ;-) I could write a long answer, but Kris Köhntopp already wrote a great text about "webapps and the FHS" some years ago, and there's nothing I could add. Please read his article at http://blog.koehntopp.de/archives/860-Webanwendungen-und-der-FHS.html (german, use google translate if needed) BTW: I know both sides of the problem - I'm admin on several webservers and also one of the main programmers (and RPM packager) of PostfixAdmin.
