I am not ignorant of the apache documentation, I would honestly like some opinions about this. The docs don't realyl address my concerns here- and I would like the thoughts of real world developers/webmonkeys like myself. For example, if you are a sys admin or a web devel, and you had to install an app, would you expect it to go in sgi, what if it were to be in its own dir alongside http doc root? would it p155 u off? I don't know exactly. Please suggest.

It is easier to monitor an app when it resides
in its own directory; it is easier to insert simple
handles, and it is easier to extract info from log
files (and also easier to write such info in
separate file with env=xxx conditions). As for
security, it easier to check and monitor access
permitions. (As per Apache security_tips docs, placing an
app inside server configuration directories is the
least desirable option.)
