Indeed, but organisation is quite a mess and certain things don’t really feel like should be together.
Why should /var/www and /var/lock be in the same place?
It’s been a while I don’t work on webservers, but any of the ones I worked on, be it Apache or Nginx, had all their domains in /var/www.
I would imagine /srv to be a much better option, but I’ve never seen it done that way.
Well, at least for nginx, you can specify the root (or alias if required) directive; to me, it makes very little sense to rely on defaults, you need to specify your servers / virtual hosts anyways, might as well make the configuration more self-documenting…

/var/wwwis in fact not part of the FHS, not even optional… it doesn’t exist on my machines either. I think the better choice would be/srv/wwwwhich is an example given at https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch03s17.htmlIt’s been a while I don’t work on webservers, but any of the ones I worked on, be it Apache or Nginx, had all their domains in
