1 I'm new here, more of a user than a dev. really but I wanted to ask
2 about Apache's default configuration -- it took me a few minutes to
3 realize what was going on, and I was just wondering why Gentoo's
4 Apache has to be so different from everyone else's.

6 IMO, the point to building a distribution is to be the best you can be
7 -- so unless there's a very good and specific reason for making people
8 change *two* blocks in the config files just to move the document
9 root, I think it's doing more harm than good.

11 (For those who don't follow, <Directory /> has a Deny from all
12 directive, and then the *actual* path to the *default* DocumentRoot is
13 Allow from all... so the original Deny directive AFAIK doesn't have
14 any effect (since you can't get above the document root anyway iirc).

16 Thanks.
