Comment(by scott@…):

 Replying to [comment:5 ryandesign@…]:
 > > I think some discussion would need to be made as to where the actual
 http docs files live, if they live in prefix somewhere, or if they were to
 be pointed to /Library/WebServer/Documents.  That I am not sure what would
 be the most logical structure to follow.
 > Should not be outside of ${prefix}. My vote is for ${prefix}/www/${name}
 which is where other web ports should be installing things I think. The
 DocumentRoot should possibly be set to something like ${prefix}/www/htdocs
 (usual apache naming) or ${prefix}/www/public (Zend Framework naming),
 possibly with nothing at all installed in that directory.

 Good points.  Maybe this needs to be a "rule" of some form, or an
 established and rock solid location?  Being able to port install
 phpmyadmin and load localhost/phpmyadmin and it just works, would be very
 nice to some.  Sure, you can customize if you desire, but out of the box
 ports that fire up in a browser, could be a powerful thing for any local
 development box.
