httpd and web-server
Any server providing content via the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol.
A suite of static and dynamic content, as well as any other associated scripts and data serving a common purpose.
Read-only content served without requiring server interpretation or execution.
Architecture-independant content requiring server interpretation. Most PHP applications are based from this type of content.
Similar to interpreted content, but instead of requiring the server to interpret the underlying file(s), content is obtained by execution of a script or binary. Most packages using a "cgi-bin" would fall under this category.
Content that can be reconstituted from existing data, such as proxied data or graph images generated from databases.
Architecture-independant files referenced by dynamic content providing functionality but not directly accessed from the web.
The subset of include files intended for site wide use by multiple applications.
The base directory underneath which web content is accessed. This sometimes will refer to the "global" document root (parent directory for entire web site), and sometimes refer to an "application" document root, which is the root directory specific to an application.
generally speaking, the name of the package containing the web application. however, it can also be expanded to include names of other packages (or virtual packages) generated by the same source package, or other commonly acceptable variations on said package names.
