I am currently developing a php application using MVC techniques. I started it without thinking about a useful directory structure.
I’m planning to deploy the application to a apache2 server now. This is how it looks right now.
My current layout

I have a httpdocs folder on the server which is accessible from the web. If I copy all files into this directory some files might be accessible that shouldn’t. The public folder contains the files that have to be accessible. (I might need to put my index.php there)

My question is: What is the preferred layout for such an application? Should I put all folders except public in the parent folder of httpdocs?

Thanks for your advices!

    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/vhosts/examples.html

    You can have a look there. Setting up a virtual host is always nice so you don’t mix your application. And you just give access to your public folder.

    <VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/mvc_app/public
ServerName www.example.com

<Directory /var/www/mvc_app/public>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>
