That's exactly the problem.  And most people won't even do the above,
because disabling security measures is something that always sounds
like a bad idea.  (As someone said -- if there was a way to do this
based on specific paths, I could make the PLT installer do the right
thing for the doc directory; but what they do have is just a
machine-global "off/on" switch...)

I know, but a web server has a bunch of other problems.  (Like
managing another process, or complications from firewalls etc.)
