Why?
It seems to me much simpler to follow the apache default
/var/www/html , if you are using apache.
I don't keep a separate /var - I do keep a separate /srv
I can do a clean install but preserve /home and /srv and I don't lose
anything.
I do not like to have /var as a partition that is preserved because too
many files in /var are OS dependent. So I like /var to be nuked on a
clean install along with /usr
This also allows me to have a relatively small root filesystem - and
not have to worry about expanding it because I filled up /var/html. I
may have to expand /srv as it fills with data from various servers - but
it is much easier and safer to expand /srv than to expand / - and a full
/srv won't prevent an update package from installing or otherwise
interfere with system operations.
