That's pretty muc hall that is needed.
Developer playgrounds are something else, and they run them as they please on their workstations. I was describing what we do for shared servers with dev/qa/production workflow stacks. Per security policy, nobody is allowed to run a site out of their home directory (or even have a login on QA or production), and we don't have any of the stack software in /usr/local even on sites which haven't been merged into an /opt/site/sitename stack so they can easily be copied from machine to machine. As with anything else, YMMV with your environment. I probably would consider your setup a little crazy with the kind of superficial exposure we get here, starting with running httpd out of /usr/local (assuming you'll ever want to compile a second version for any reason). > However, we don't do this so much anymore.
