Hi,
The default virtual host when Apache is installed on Debian has
document root /var/www and a cgi-bin directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin. These
directories do not make intuitive sense to me. If I have static HTML
pages and some Perl CGI scripts, I would expect they go somewhere
under /usr/share/. What is the rational behind the chosen default
directories?
Thanks,
Peter
No way would I want a web user to have access to what's in /usr/share.
It would be a huge security exposure to allow a website user access to
other files in the directory.
