</div>The question is not whether any directly currently has<br>
content, but if the mythweb application *could* write to them.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>True, but this is a fairly well used installation, so it's worth evaluating if the directory can be removed.</div><div>

one likely should), the recommendation is to install in<br>
/var/www/html/, and then change ownership, writability<br>
to the .../data/ directory which would "address" the<br>
ownership and write-ability issues.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Per the guidelines[1] /usr/share is preferred, though presumably that's intended for static data... It also mentions not using /var/www because 1) user may already have data there, and 2) it's not part of FHS anymore.</div>

what writes where (or where it could write), or change<br>
the spec file to create the files in /var/www/html rather<br>
than in /usr/share/mythweb I will back off now (that is<br>
the work I was going to review as a first step).</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Since the recommendation for mythweb is to run with SELinux off, I'm starting to like the idea of symbolic links to somewhere in /var or /var/cache for writable stuff.</div>
