what is the ideal place for the apache document root. Both from a security and efficency point of view
The default usually is something like /usr/local/apache/htdocs.
Also what permissions to give the documentroot directory. So far have run the documentroot with root permissions but would it be better to run it with out root permissions.
thanks |

You are using which linux? There is no "the path". you can set wat ever you want. Only set the permissions to the www user and group to www (depends on your distro). Run your apache under the www user and group.
NEVER use root as user. |
