Apache default DocumentRoot (packages owning files under /home?)

(Google didn't lend me any insight on this, either in the wiki, the forums, or the mailing lists; please let me know if I missed something.)
I'm curious why the default DocumentRoot for apache lies under /home.  This seems wrong to me: I feel something under /var would be more appropriate, and I'm curious why this decision was made.  Personally, I'd prefer /home to contain only user files (at least by default) and that cluttering that up shouldn't be the decision of the distribution.  It's not easily changeable, either, because the apache package owns a bunch of files under /home.
So I guess my question is this: what's the Arch philosophy with regard to packages like apache and the various ftp servers and their default base directories?  Are this and similar questions documented somewhere?  (They don't appear in the Arch Packaging Standards.)  I feel this is deserving of official documentation.

There's http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev … 00349.html and probably other threads... didn't find anything else in the 2 minutes before work will be over

  • [SOLVED]HELP! Can't change Apache default documentRoot!

  • Why can't create file under /home directory?

    I user solaris10, and login as root,I find I can't create any file or directory under /home directory! It say "operation not applicable" ,Why? I am puzzled it for a long time. Anyone could tell how to do it?
    Thanks

    For Solaris,
    /home is not an on-disk file system, it is a file system under the
    control of the automounter, and only the automounter can create
    directories/files in it.
    If you don't want the automounter to manage /home, then remove the
    "/home" entry from /etc/auto_master
    (and issue the command "automount -v" to force the file
    to be reread, or reboot).
    However, the typical setup for Solaris is to locate user's home directories
    in /export/home.

  • Vista - how do you make iTunes the default player for audio files?

    Having started using iTunes on a new Vista PC, I've found that it defaults back to Windows Media as the default audio file player every time the machine is rebooted.
    But worse than that, I cannot find any option to make iTunes the default player for MP3 files - under the Vista settings, the ONLY option offered is Windows Media: there is not even a box to tick for iTunes.
    Have others found this? Is there any way around this?
    (I thought that Microsoft was legally precluded from making these kind of enforced settings now???)

    Although I now seem to have successfully made iTunes the default player for audio files, iTunes has started putting up this message:
    "The iTunes Music Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
    A quick scan of the forum shows this problem has come up quite a few times, but I'm far from clear if there is a definitive answer/solution. I am the administrator for the computer. It sounds worrying that the Library file is not being saved - should I be worried?

  • Get volumes displayed by default under Home when opening File Explorer in Windows 10 Technical Preview

    Scenario:
    In Windows 8.1, it is to display volumes under This PC by default when opening File Explorer, which is as shown in Figure1. However, in Windows 10 Technical Preview, it is not to display volumes under Home by default when
    opening File Explorer, which is as shown as in Figure 2. This articles describes a workaround to get volumes displayed by default under
    Home when opening File Explorer in Windows 10 Technical Preview.
    Workaround:

    i think what he want is to change the Win + E shortcut to This PC.
    I understand that is the goal. I've tried the registry hack, it works, but I found it left fragments of other files from "Home' scatter around in there too. We all been using this new version of windows for a few weeks now, built up a list of stuff
    we have looked at, and that is why I said it's not the prettiest solution. It might have been okay if it was done just after a fresh install. In my alternative solution, you are bringing the This PC icon out to a more accessible place so you
    don't have to use the File Explorer icon to get at the volumes i.e. hard drive view.
    Personally, when I launch the File Explorer, I am expecting to be looking for something straight away on my hard drives and not be presented with a list of stuff that I have already looked at. That kind of thing should be left
    in a Recent Folder sort of thing we use to see in the older versions of windows.

  • How eo add default page in portal under home tab in portal

    Hi All,
    I have to make one welcome page for my portal the reason behind is that when i log on to portal under Home role theare is no page assigned so blank view is available that looks very dull..
    What i want to achive is that to createIview and assign that iview to role so that by default when i log on to portal directly that iview is displyed instead of blank view..
    any help will bw appretiated. and rewarded with poinits.
    Regards.
    Vinit Soni

    Hi Vinit,
    What you can do is that create the desired Page or iView and assign it to the "Everyone" Group, which is SAP Provided, as this group is by Default added to every user., so automatically when you will login to the portal that page or iView will be displayed.
    The Everyone group will already have a role "everyone" assigned under itself.So create a Iview adn assign it to a role say "Welcome Page Role" and add this role to Group "Everyone".
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,

  • Problem deplying Struts app under home orabpel hw_services

    Hi guys,
    I have soasuite v10.1.3.1.0 installed on my system.
    I am trying to deploy a STRUTS application under home>orabpel>hw_services:
    Application Name: gpi-mms-app (one web-module and one ejb)
    Parent Application: hw_services (Human Workflow Services)
    Binding web-module to site: default-web-site
    But after deployment when i view the application log, the action servlet is not initialized properly.
    The problem is with commons-logging.jar, but didnt find any concrete solution where to exactly copy this jar.
    I tried putting the commons-logging.jar file entry in global OC4J application.xml.
    But while starting soasuite it says class loader hierarchy is not correct and complained to remove commons-logging.jar file from global OC4J application.xml.
    I tried copying commons-logging.jar file in each and every lib folder. but got the same error class loader hierarchy is not correct.
    Here is the stack trace when I tried deploying the application.

  • When i open an mp3 file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

    when I open a music file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

    If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place.  The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
    It does not convert the file.  You can delete the original if you wish.

  • How to download a file under link in FF?

    there is a 'save target as...' popup menu option in "big" firefox, which I use to skip default action for specific files. I.e. to download a pdf file to read it later instead of open it in acroread right now.
    How can I get the same function in mobile version of FF?
    Thanks a lot.

    Since the last update I've got the same problem. When I click a download link (mp3), instead of downloading the file FF opens a new tab and start playing the mp3. This is not what I want. I want to download the file at home so that I can listen to it later when there is no internet connection available. When I long click the download link there are some options, but there is no option "save link as".
    Now I have to use Chrome to achieve my goal.
    Please help!

  • I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder.

    I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder."
    I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?

    Look in your Home > Music folder.  There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl  You want to guide iTunes to that file.  If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

  • How do I select multiple files under "Get File Info"and lock or unlock all?

    How do I select multiple files under "Get File Info"and lock or unlock them all? It seems to do it automatically when I have 10 or more selected. But how do I lock or unlock 5 or 6 files in one swoop? Thanks

    Select the desired files then press OPTION and select Show Inspector from the Finder's File menu.
