The Web server configuration files, log files, HTML
documents, and CGI scripts are all located in subdirectories of the
/usr/local/apache directory. As a convenience to you, the link /www is a symbolic link (shortcut) to the /usr/local/apache directory. This Handbook uses
both directory references because they are interchangeable.
The following table provides a description of the each /www subdirectory.
