configuring zend server

[Larry Kleinman <larry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear people-who-know-more-than-I-do-about-Zend Server:

This is sort of a "best practices" question:

I have installed Zend Server on a system currently using Zend Core, and 
the install went fine.  Now I want to move my PHP files over to the Zend 
Core server, and I am not sure where to put them. 

In my current configuration, I have a plain vanilla  Apache server called 
WEBSITE created using the IBM 2001 admin tool.  I added (to 
www/website/conf/httpd.conf) the directives to proxy this server to the 
PASE Zend Core Apache server, and I changed  the PASE APACHE config file 
(usr/local/Zend/apache2/conf/httpd.conf) so that the root directory is 
www/website/htdocs instead of www/zendcore/htdocs and the welcome page is 
Index.php.  As such, the only thing in my www/website/htdocs directory is 
my files my running my website, not any stuff shipped with Zend.

The new configuration does not have a proxy server (right?) so I can't 
change the root directory in some usr/local/Zend/xxxx directory.  It seems 
to me that I have a choice of:
a)  Putting all of my files in www/zendsvr/htdocs. 
b)  Putting all of my files in SomeOtherDirectory and changing the 
www/zendsvr/conf/httpd.conf to make the root directory SomeOtherDirectory
c)  Creating a new Apache server, copying the Zend-specific directives in 
the www/zendsvr/conf/httpd.conf  file to the http.conf file in the new 
directory and put my files in htdocs in the new server.

Is one of these choices better than the others?  If choice b or c is best, 
is there anything else that needs to be done?
