I replied earlier and just realized that my replies went directly to
the original posters and not to the list. <sigh> That means that when I
told you (Buck) to see my other reply, you can't.
Here is a summary:
For the entire /usr/doc tree you can use either the alias directive as
suggested by the other person who replied to this message, or you can
also 'ln -s /usr/doc /usr/local/www/doc'. requests for
http://localhost/doc will then get you a directory listing of the
/usr/doc tree (unless you are very industrious and create an index.html
with links to whatever you actually want access to in that tree).
For viewing man pages on your server you need to locate and install the
'man2html' package for your distribution. It can be used as a CGI and
its man page explains it quite well.
