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.
