Hi, On a similar vein, I've asked this before and got no feedback - I'd like to suggest that 'www' and 'www/cgi-bin.default' and 'www/data.default' be added to the BSD.local mtree. This will allow a whole bunch of PHP-related and CGI products to be made into packages, installing into the '.default' directories. I realize there's a huge insane thing going on with the incompatible apache ports, but this seems the most sane way to go ahead with this - we don't want ports installing stuff into someone's web and CGI trees without permission, but if they don't set up something else, it will be immediately available, if we set up apache properly. This is currently preventing me from making Zope almost entirely automatically working from install, and in the past has prevented me from making ports of other products that use CGI or PHP. apache or whatever web server can just symlink www/data to www/data.default and www/cgi-bin to www/cgi-bin.default by default, if they aren't there already. This also makes reinstalling much more sane.
