Hi Paul -
… But for now, if I click on a command to see its manpage or
documentation, I am asked to download the gzipped file.
This sounds like a very old bug I experienced years ago where
dwww-convert didn't know about gzipped files. Is there anything to this
effect in your /etc/dwww/dwww.conf? Is dwww-index++ being run
periodically?
That's the problem with my configuration. There is just index.html,
dwww.css, and the PNG of the Debian logo. No hidden files either. There
was nothing under ../cgi-bin, since it wasn't there until I created it.
Thus, there is no dwww.conf, and dwww-index++ (is that the name of a
script?) is nowhere in sight.
There is also no cgi code inside the index.html telling me what the
script thinks should be handling the ?type=man at the end of the URL.
You might be hitting permission problems between the new symlinked man
page directories and where apache2 and dwww is allowed to look.
Or I could be just going up against an ill-equipped documentation
system, stripped down by Ubuntu. :-(
cheers,
Stewart
