Re: [SLE] On-line documentation fixed in 6.4?

Will the web-based documentation work in version 6.4?
I'm running 6.3 out of the box and I can't belive how messed up it is. I had to make a bunch of changes to the httpd.conf file, and still, the main help page at http://suse/hilfe/index_e.html has a bunch of href links that are absolute starting http://localhost which means they don't work from another machine.
Works fine here. If you run apache on your machine http://localhost gets a
generic webpage having, among other things, links to most if not all your
local documentation. Document root is at /usr/local/httpd/htdocs. There
is an index.html page there, which you will likely want to redo to suit
your own needs. Other boxes on the same LAN can get to it by
http://hostname.

Are you talking about 6.3 or 6.4? I had a number or problems. For example, I wanted to look at the howtos their URL is: http://localhost/howto/en/html/HOWTO-INDEX.html The problem is that there's no /howto/ Alias. So I had to add this to httpd.conf: Alias /howto/ /usr/doc/howto/ Now a bunch of web pages have <A HREF="http://localhost"> in them. Now that won't work over the network, of course. So that's busted too in the 6.3 distribution. For example, the page http://localhost/hilfe/index_e.html has this in the source: <LI><B><A HREF="http://localhost/htdig/search.html">Full Text Retrieval</A> and this: <LI><A HREF="http://localhost/doc/sdb/en/html/index.html"> Support DataBase - local with search</A> Are you saying in your 6.3 distribution this file doesn't contain HREFs pointing to localhost?
