Re: Where do you put all your HTML stuff on a home Linux server?

Messier with permissions if you want to edit HTML without becoming
root all the time. Also not so convenient for editing even with
permissions set up OK as it's not in your home directory.
Easier to make sure that any outside access can only see what you
want to be seen.
Cleaner/easier URLs without the need for symbolic links.
Not really practical for multi-user but this doesn't apply for me.
Need to back up separately from /home (though I suppose you could
make /var/html a link across to the /home partition)
I tend to follow this direction: Change the /var/www/html ownership, or
the ownership of a sub-directory (more preferable), to yourself. Put a
symlink from your homespace to that location (this is a shortcut for
your editing purposes, files are web served directly from Apache's usual
location for public files).
It's quite practical for multi-users, if they have their own
sub-directories in /var/www/html. Or you change the group ownership,
and add appropriate users to that web-authoring group.
