Well, to quote the FHS (<http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html>): | /srv contains site-specific data which is served by this system. and | /var contains variable data files. This includes spool directories and | files, administrative and logging data, and transient and temporary | files. For all the things *I* put into the DocumentRoot of a web server, /srv fits better, I think. The question is what location *packages* (dwww, for example) should use when they need to put things there. According to #542950, Debian maintainers don't want to enforce any specific directory layout below /srv because the FHS doesn't contain strong rules about that. That way they are making sure that they don't overwrite site-specific data, managed by the local admin. That's totally fine with me, but I I usually configure my systems to use /srv/www exclusively. If there is anything below /var/www which I need, I put symlinks in place. J. -- I cannot comprehend the idea of chemical and biological weapons.
