    From the message:
    There should really be support for aliases and virtual paths. For
    example on my Apache server "/doc/" points to "/usr/doc/".

    I've modified my copy of the script accordingly, but there should
    be a standard way of doing it.

    It is not a common practice for people to allow access to fullpath
    locations on a web server like the script assumes.

    Hope this helps,

    Can you describe a configuration that gives you a problem in
    more detail? Thanks.

    As I explained in my first message, a standard Apache
    configuration will usually include:

    Alias /doc/ /usr/doc/

    The script incorrectly assumes that the physical location of
    the files to index (in this case "/usr/doc") is the same on the
    web server.

    I should be able to index the files located in "/usr/doc/xxx/"
    but have the script refers to them on the script-generated
    web pages using URLs starting with "/doc/xxx/".

    The script should take into consideration the physical location
    of the files, as well as their (virtual) web location, as they will
    most likely differ.

    Hope this helps,

    E.

    I've checked in a new revision (1.10) of the script that
    should support web aliases. Check it out when it makes to
    the public CVS server and let me know if it accomplishes
    what you need.

    Works like a charm! Great!

    Thanks,
