Package: dwww (1.15)

[ Source: dwww  ]

Read all on-line documentation with a WWW browser

All installed on-line documentation will be served via a local HTTP server at http://localhost/dwww/. This package runs cron scripts to convert available resources to the HTML pages. Executing the dwww command starts a sensible WWW browser locally to access them.

You need to install a CGI-capable HTTP server and enable its CGI script capability manually (CGI may be disabled by default for the security consideration). For apache2, do something along the following:

 $ sudo a2enmod cgid
 $ sudo systemctl restart apache2

The default for the HTTP/CGI access is limited to the local user for the security consideration.
