Guv's directory structure

Lee Livezey
MemberGuv, Being a noob, I'm curious why you choose the directory structures:
/usr/local/nginx, and
/home/USERNAME/public_html/ for the CMS's.At least in the Drupal community, most folks seem to be using:
/etc/nginx, and
/var/www/Drupal/sitesI know you've got a good reason and I'm probably being dense for asking. But, I could use another "flat forehead moment" of enlightenment!
Thanks

hey Lee .. no right nor wrong, both are a matter of preference.
with the web directory though, it's a question of more easily managed security. to keep a human user's files together, web or otherwise, means they can be isolated more easily from other users and system files.

UnregisteredHi Olly
Well I'm on the orginal file structure:
/home/public_html/
Is there a security issue leaving that as it is, as I've a fair few sites running now on my wee VPS and changing all the files & settings would be a bit of a chore!

Hi Ben .. well, you security concerns aren't with the directory structure, they're with the rights your users have over what files.
But yes, the new directory structure makes it ^easier^ to setup multiple human user accounts - and a bit easier to then jail user accounts - and that's why I changed it.
What human users do you have/plan to have?
