Hi,
I have a server from which I want to share files via multiple
protocols--so far it's HTTP and SMB. The files do not reside
on the server, they are mounted from other server via NFS. I was
wondering: where to put the files? Which is the most "Debian"
way?
For example, I'm mounting these NFS shares to "serve":
storage:/srv/nfs/applications
storage:/srv/nfs/samples
storage:/srv/nfs/tools
I'm planning that all of them will available (to Windows stations
connected to "serve") as:
http://serve/applications/
http://serve/samples/
http://serve/tools/
\\serve\applications\
\\serve\samples\
\\serve\tools\
(All shares will be read-only. It's an isolated environment
for testing, there's no need to have access policy--anyone can
read, no-one can write.)
A) According to FHS, I should put them in /srv/smb/ for SMB
and /srv/http/ for HTTP. But that would mean mounting each FS
to two mountpoints. Sounds confusing to me...is it normal? Are
there any caveats with having one FS in two mountpoints?
B) I have noticed that Apache2 has, by default, DocumentRoot set
to /var/www/. Does this mean that Apache expects me to have main
storage here? (I know I can change DocumentRoot, but I'm trying
to learn from default settings... .-D) Actually I'd expect to
store only index.html and such (there will be some of these).
C) Or I shoud put all to a different location and use symlinks
(I think Apache does not like this)?
D) As C), but use "mount -o bind"? Is this how bind is supposed
to be used?
I'm trying to get an idea of what is "common" or "normal". I welcome
any tips, experiences.
Thanks!
aL.
