I did agree with your opinion but since I specifically aimed to apache2, as
I wrote in my Problem Description: , that requires that documents to serve
should be in (or under) DocumentRoot which is /usr/local/www/apache22.  But
once I follow suggestion in FDP Primer chapter 8.3, that installs all
documents to /usr/local/www/data.  In this case, I have to create apache22
subdirectory under what DESTDIR environment variable points to and mv all
data/ into that in order for my apache2 to start quietly.

Anyway, I also see that there will be an endless Notes to mention to the
readers if we wrote to a  specific web-server like apache as you said me.

May be that we put a few words to mention further  works after ``make all
install''  for some specific server or all documents will have to be
installed to ~/public_html/data otherwise.

Many thanks indeed for your time.

Apologized me for disturbing and apologized me for my English too.
