Re: [Erlyaws-list] YAWS not creating the directory structure on CentOS 5.8

[CGS <cgs...@gm...>]

I really don't know what happened during the installation because I found
in scripts/INSTALL (line 22):

install -d ${destdir}${vardir}/log/yaws

which should have been processed. I also test install -d separately and it
works fine on that OS. Strangely enough, I suppose that will remain a
mystery for the moment and, who knows, maybe this is an isolated case.
Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to check if all the directory structure was
completed before exiting from the installation part.

Cheers,
CGS
