Dear All, When a web application generates lots of extra stuff that gets stored for a while (e.g., temporal files with results ---ours are a bunch of bioinformatics applications: http://asterias.info), what is the most appropriate place to install the egg?
Since lots of stuff gets modified and added, as part of the application execution, I think it is best to have the application installed in the home of the web-server user, not as root. This allows to set user quotas, prevent /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ from filling up with junk and, I think, is less likely to lead to security issues. Does this make sense? (Yes, another way would be for the setup scripts to create the directories where the temporal stuff lives to be place in the web-server user's directory; but I like the idea of having everything under a single point in the directory tree).
