Apacheconfig missing (or am i blind)?

[ragnar76]

Hey,

i've just installed the latest version from your debian repository. after follwing the debian install guide, and following the tar guide later, i was not able to access it (404). the problem is, dpkg unpacks it to /var/www which is not the default www-root for debians apache 2.4 (its /var/www/html). so i had to write my own config and put it in /etc/apache/site-enabled (see below).

i think you should mention that in the docs

Alias /froxlor /var/www/froxlor
<Directory /var/www/froxlor>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    DirectoryIndex index.php

    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        <IfModule mod_mime.c>
            AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
        </IfModule>
        <FilesMatch ".+\.php$">
            SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
        </FilesMatch>
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

Just edit sites-enabled/000-default and change /var/www/html to /var/www/ ...no need for your own configs...

imho, writing a separate config file is no magic at all, its a question of faith. but thats not the point here, a hint inside the docs would be great

[d00p]

there is NO NEED for a custom config files, that's the point. And for installation, froxlor just needs to be in the default webroot, which is usually /var/www/, only on jessie (and maybe ubuntu 16.06) it's /var/www/html

[ragnar76]

what i dont get, you provide a package for jessie, you now that the document root is /var/www/html but still, you install in /var/www ? why? if the package is the same for wheezy and jessie, why dont you fiddle around with the doinst script and copy the files to the right place?

Granted, the Froxlor package doesn't adhere to the Debian Policy. But /var/www/html is still not the right™ place to put it. The cleanest destination for a Debian system would be /usr/share/froxlor and work with Alias directives from there.

However we decided against that quite a while back to keep deviations between distributions to a minimum.
