[OmniOS-discuss] OmniOS as web server: what good/best practices to follow?

I am using the apache22 from the OmniOS "add-on" repository at
ms.omnios.com.  It works perfectly and is absolutely good enough.
Apache was installed on the server while it was running 012, but 
the server is now updated to 014.  Apache still works fine under 014.
However, it serves only static content here, no Drupal.

As document root, I created a separate ZFS dataset, called it 
/www, and edited httpd.conf accordingly.


HTH and regards -- Volker
