Ah, I see your point now. It's true, the actual install directory is
$DESTDIR/data. I'll make sure this gets mentioned in the fdp-primer.
Best,

specific to apache22 or in fact any specific web
server. You don't have to use apache to serve
FreeBSD web pages. The /usr/local/www is used as a
common preference (or hint) as /usr is the largest
partition on most FreeBSD systems following the
default installation scheme. You are supposed to
know how to install / configure a web server and
adapt these instructions to your specific
installation.<br>
IMHO, if we add apache specific information to this
section we will also have to add more sections
describing  basic configuration for serving the
pages (like setting DocumentRoot, encoding etc.). I
believe these are out of scope for this document.<br>
<br>

<div><br>
I did agree with your opinion but since I
specifically aimed to apache2, as I wrote in my
Problem Description: , that requires that documents
to serve should be in (or under) DocumentRoot which
is /usr/local/www/apache22. But once I follow
suggestion in FDP Primer chapter 8.3, that installs
all documents to /usr/local/www/data. In this case,
I have to create apache22 subdirectory under what
DESTDIR environment variable points to and mv all
data/ into that in order for my apache2 to start
quietly.<br>

<br>
</div>
What you would really need to do is change the DESTDIR shown
in the example to:<br>
<br>
env DESTDIR=/usr/local/www/apache22 make install<br>
<br>
As I said, the example is not to be taken literally.Â
DESTDIR should be set to your own DocumentRoot (or whatever
is called by the web server used) and not copied directly
from fdp-primer.

Anyway, I also see that there will be an endless
Notes to mention to the readers if we wrote to aÂ
specific web-server like apache as you said me.<br>
<br>
May be that we put a few words to mention furtherÂ
works after ``make all install''Â for some specific
server or all documents will have to be installed to
~/public_html/data otherwise.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
All in all, I do agree with you but I found that the whole
documents will be placed under ~/public_html/data if DESTDIR were
not passed to make command line. Even one passed some value for
DESTDIR to make command line, the whole documents still be placed
under ${DESTDIR}/data regardless of any web servers used.<br>

Should a few words mention this to the readers ?<br>

Really apologized me indeed. This is my limitation, my English.<br>
