Seems like a far simpler fix.
The new document root is supposed to be the default vhosts document root (there is no need to distinguish between default vhost and no vhost). Other vhosts can be put in other sub directories in /var/www/, like /var/www/www.example.com or /var/www/vhosts/example.com/htdocs, just like the admin prefers it. In this regard, /var/www/default would be the most logical name, IMHO. But we thought that not inventing yet another docroot directory name would be better, and therefore suggested /var/www/html. But the actual name does not matter, as long as it's a sub directory of the directory for all vhosts. Suexec's compiled-in document root would stay at /var/www so that it would include all vhost document roots. And dspam-webfrontend could keep its files in /var/www/dspam, inside suexec's document root, without polluting the default document root. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
