The quest for a standard around these 'drop into $HTDOCS' products
(drupal, joomla, etc.) has persisted for over a year now... everyone has
a different take on it, but it essentially boils down to:
1) Place the stuff in /usr/silverstripe, point an httpd.conf file at
it there
- Apache still has to be restarted with this config file
+ No existing files are clobbered
2) Assume Apache and place everything directly into
/var/apache2/2.2/htdocs
- Assumes Apache
- Assumes location of Apache htdocs lives
- Blows away whatever was in htdocs
2a) Variant: place everything into /var/apache/2.2/htdocs/silverstripe
+ No clobbering
There's really a whole class of software packages of this ilk -- perhaps
it's not too late to press for a defacto standard in OSOL. Or maybe it is.
$0.02/ERR
Everyone tends to do it differently
