Package: dwww Version: 1.9.26 Severity: wishlist Thttpd does not accept the symbolic link /var/www/dwww -> /var/lib/dwww because it points outside the server's directory.
Man pages for thttpd suggest copying files into server's directory and making a symbolic link pointing to the user directory (/var/lib/dwww). If I want to make dwww work with thttpd I have to cd /var/www/ rm dwww mkdir dwww cd dwww mkdir html cp -R /var/lib/dwww/html/* /var/www/dwww/html/ rm -r /var/lib/dwww cd /var/lib ln -s /var/www/dwww/ It would be a help to have a parameter in dwww.conf defining where dwww pages are stored. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8 Locale: LANG=fr_FR, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages dwww depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.58 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.15 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii doc-base 0.7.18-0.1 utilities to manage online documen ii file 4.15-2 Determines file type using "magic" ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii man-db 2.4.3-3 The on-line manual pager ii menu 2.1.26 generates programs menu for all me ii perl 5.8.7-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii realpath 1.9.26 Return the canonicalized absolute ii thttpd [httpd-cgi] 2.23beta1-3 tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server Versions of packages dwww recommends: ii apt 0.6.42.1 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii dlocate 0.5-0.1 fast alternative to dpkg -L and dp ii info2www 1.2.2.9-23 Read info files with a WWW browser -- debconf information: * dwww/cgiuser: www-data dwww/nosuchuser: * dwww/cgidir: /usr/lib/cgi-bin * dwww/docrootdir: /var/www * dwww/serverport: 80 * dwww/servername: localhost.localdomain * dwww/index_docs: false dwww/badport: dwww/nosuchdir: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
