This isn't much information as a bug report ... But I checked by myself...

I installed  dwww dpkg-www (which installs apache2 too).

Started dwww.  For my case my default browser Firefox started
with URL pointing to http://<my-local-host-name>/dwww/

OK I get a page.  But many things doesn't work:

 * search
 * info
 * man
 * documentation

All requests show errors:

  The requested URL /cgi-bin/dwww/usr/share/doc/ was not found on this server.

  The requested URL /cgi-bin/dwww/usr/share/man/man5/00-upstream-settings.5.gz 
was not found on this server.

  The requested URL /cgi-bin/info2www was not found on this server.

  The requested URL /cgi-bin/dwww/usr/share/doc/chasen/manual-j.pdf was not 
found on this server.

I don't have time but this is not debian-reference problem.  It's local
configuration of web server problem.

I suppose recent tightening of security policy for apache may causing
this problem.  I think dwww packaghe should give you good TUTORIAL for
how to get it to work.  (Or even better a plug-in settings to apache
server configuration to enable these.

As I looked into dwww bug page ... YES.
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=781987
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=687293
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718597

Since this is reported with good amount of information already, I am
closing this vague bug report.

I may think about NMU dwww ...
