where is APT putting apache applications like gallery and nagios and squirrelmail and whatnot...? I mean for the most part these should be html or php files and thus completely containerable as far as I know...
I'm newer to Debian but not quite a virgin - have just migrated all our servers from Gentoo to Debian even though I've been a Gentoo person up to recently. Almost the entirety of my linux experience is Gentoo.
That being said, i'm having difficulty locating where APT keeps shoving web applications. That it does not seem to understand or provide options for installing individual instances of these applications per virtual domain, presumably its throwing them somewhere globally that I've not been able to locate.
Typically speaking, I like to keep similar items as containerized as possible. Thus all www stuff needs to go under /var/www (except logs which go under /var/log if I can help it). So my web directory looks like this
/var/www/domain.com
/var/www/foobar.org
/var/www/blah.com
Something like Gallery would go in like here
/var/www/domain.com/htdocs/gallery
If Gallery had CGI scripts they'd go in here
/var/www/domain.com/cgi-bin/gallery
etc etc etc
In Gentoo when running into this - after installing you have the option of running a command to install it on a per virtual domain basis with the command
webapp-config -i application-name domain.com
or something like that and wham, it sets it up in your virtual domain of choice. Have a second virtual domain and you need a second independent installation of it? no prob, just change the domain name and re-run it.
I'm sorry that this is lengthy, I'm new to the forums and feel that explaining myself and what I'm accustomed to will hopefully allow one or many of you to respond and help me understand the differences here and what I need to do to bring everything into line so I can be an effective administrator on these machines.
Thanks all

I'm totally ignorant of Apache, but I advise you to read the help files in the apache-named directories in /usr/share/doc in your system. Specially the README.Debian files within those directories, as they give clues on how are the programs managed in the Debian system.
