>Description:
Using the www/apache2 make option WITH_CUSTOM_WWW=/var fails to create the web document root in /var/www and insists on placing the document root in /usr/local/www instead.

In order to work around the issue I tried the WITHOUT_WWW option, which still insists on creating /usr/local/www directory with content, when I don't want the defaults.

Essentially it is non-trivial to customise the location or remove the web document tree; and/or www/apache2/Makefile.doc fails to clearly document how to accomplish this task. Searches of the FAQ, articles, Google, provide no relevant information.

>How-To-Repeat:
make \
WITH_DBM="bdb" \
WITH_BERKELEYDB="db42" \
WITH_SUEXEC=yes \
WITH_CUSTOM_WWW=/var install

or

make \
WITH_DBM="bdb" \
WITH_BERKELEYDB="db42" \
WITH_SUEXEC=yes \
WITHOUT_WWW=yes  install
