What is good practise ?

What is good practise for choosing the install location on the server ?
Do you guys install processwire directly in /server/root/
or do you install in a subfolder /server/root/folder/ ?

I usually install processwire in /server/root/folder/
so the processwire files and folders don't mix up
with other files I keep in the root.

I then put a .htaccess file in /server/root

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mydomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ folder [L]

But is this good practise ?

I only install Processwire in a sub directory when there's an other site already running in that install.

Say: MODX site is running in the root. And I want to make a survey or what so ever with processwire. I install processwire in www.your-domain.org/servey/

So ./ will access MODX and ./survey/ access PW.

If the site is only ProcessWire, I 'always' install it in the root. 

This way, no need for RewriteEngine stuff....

No .htaccess to make that work ?

Out of the box. No changes.
