I want to install Arch Linux for a standalone webserver (Apache + PHP + MySQL). The size of the harddrive is 100 GB. How would you recommend that I partition the harddrive?

What's not answered in the Partitioning section of the beginner's guide?
Why would partitioning a web server be any different than partitioning a desktop? You know what you need, partition your setup accordingly.

Thank you for your answer. Was looking for that exact guide.
As I understand, the big difference between a desktop and a webserver is, that there typically wouldn't be any need for a large /home partition on a webserver, but instead a large /var partition.

That only depends on what you put in /var, some people like to stuff their HTTP server's data in there, others like to link/move it to their home partitions.
