FreeBSD Port: WebCalendar-1.0.4
this port is installing by default into the root data directory instead of the www directory. in other words, it is installing to /usr/local/www/data/webcalendar when it should be installing it to /usr/local/www/webcalendar once this is corrected, a note should be added to the pkg-message file indicating the need to add an alias to the httpd.conf file thanks!

I think I cribbed some Makefile contents from other ports when I put this one together (1st port for me), but I see now that a bunch of other web apps are installing themselves into /usr/local/www. Pardon my ignorance, but are we just trying to prevent pollution of the data directory where users will put their own content? I just submitted a patch for the port and made a bunch of other fixes that had been pending as well. If you see any new problems, let me know.

Regards, Greg sounds good. thanks for taking care of that so fast. i think its the ports standard to install to www and not the data directory in order to prevent people from drilling into directories of uninitiated apps and whatnot before the administrator is ready. perhaps someone else knows the exact details? Kris? Thanks again! Eric ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Kris? Thats one of the reasons. I believe another reason is so that the port doesn't overwrite the files in the www/data directory and then causing damage to the website.
