>Description:
in chapter 8 of FDP primer section 8.3 bullet 2 wrote that DESTDIR environment variable must be given in order to install into local servers and the value is /usr/local/www

Nowaday, for apache2 web server, this value is quite far from real situation.  The most appropriate value for apache2 should be /usr/local/www/apache22 as in

# env DESTDIR=/usr/local/www/apache22 make install


>How-To-Repeat:
open your web browser and point to http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/the-website-install.html

>Fix:
change command line from

# env DESTDIR=/usr/local/www make install

to

# env DESTDIR=/usr/local/www/apache22 make install

a patch for chapter.sgml at books/fdp-primer/the-website is attached
