Are you talking about 6.3 or 6.4?
I have 6.3. Upgraded in place from 6.1, which might have changed things a bit but I think not much.
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
Now that you mention it, there was a problem getting to the howtos. As I remember the path did not include the en subdir. I just mv'ed the directory to the right place.
The problem is that there's no /howto/ Alias. So I had to add this to httpd.conf: Alias /howto/ /usr/doc/howto/
True, but there is an alias to /usr/doc. If you fix the howto/en problem, I think it will solve that one too.
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>
I haven't set up htdig or text search yet. I plan to do that "one of these days." There's a package called dochost that has to do with that. There's a readme about setting up a SuSE box as a central documentation server using dochost. You might want to take a look at that if you haven't yet. I made the sort of changes to httpd.conf you'd expect -- ServerName, ServerAdmin, etc, but not much else. The only significant change I made was to fix that broken path to the howtos, and to write a smaller index page. I have a link from my index page to the top of the english susehilf tree like this: <A HREF="doc/susehilf/index_e.html">On Line Help</A> In fact that's nearly all it has so far. Most of the links on the susehilf page work both locally and from remote hosts.
Are you saying in your 6.3 distribution this file doesn't contain HREFs pointing to localhost?
The info2html and manpage links work only locally. I guess that's what
you're referring to. The info2html package uses cgi-bin to read local info
pages, and the manpage links use rman to read local man pages. Perhaps
setting up dochost would take care of those.
