Is there any particular reason why you are trying to build the web
site?

More importantly, why do you have to build the web site as root?

The files are installed in ${DESTDIR}, which defaults to the
${HOME}/public_html/ directory of the user running the build.

% orion:/d/www/share/mk$ grep DESTDIR *
% web.site.mk:DESTDIR?=   ${HOME}/public_html
% web.site.mk:WEBCHECKINSTALLDIR?= ${DESTDIR}${WEBCHECKDIR} 
% web.site.mk:DOCINSTALLDIR=      ${DESTDIR}${WEBBASE}/${WEBDIR}
% web.site.mk:CGIINSTALLDIR=      ${DESTDIR}${WEBBASE}/${CGIDIR}
% web.site.mk:# NOTE: webcheck's output always stored to ${DESTDIR}/webcheck directory.
% orion:/d/www/share/mk$ 

This is not a CVS problem ;-)
