Hi Hazen: I have successfully finished a struggle to view our locally generated website from Debian testing. Here is the cookbook of what I did to get this working after using scripts/generate_website.sh (some time ago with Debian Lenny) to generate the website with WEBSITE_PREFIX = /home/irwin/public_html/plplot
****** To set up apache so I can view the PLplot website locally from Debian testing in a user directory (e.g., /home/irwin/public_html/plplot/htdocs, browsed as http://raven/~irwin/plplot/htdocs/): * install libapache2-mod-php5 * To enable user directories like above run the command (as root) a2enmod userdir * To enable user directories that allow php scripts to work edit /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf and follow the directions there (or in /usr/share/doc/libapache2-mod-php5/NEWS.Debian.gz) to enable user directories for php. ****** I found that last tip in a Ubuntu bug report about getting php to work in user directories. If this is relevant to your own recent experience with a modern Ubuntu distro, you may want to adapt this cookbook for use in README.Release_Manager_Cookbook. Currently, scripts/generate_website.sh does not work with Debian testing, but I am gradually overcoming some minor bitrot and when that is done (tomorrow?) I will commit the changes.
