The directory xxx does not exist?

[Jing]

Hi fiends,
I encountered this problem. After I installed and setup all packages and finished config lxr, i'v got an error on source-browsering page
"The directory /path/to/mysrc/ does not exist"

I tried 0.3 and 0.9, resulted the same.
Could anybody give me a hand on it? I'm so puzzled and depressed!

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I experienced the same problems many times
(and was depressed).

Here's my lxr.conf (version 0.3):
| # The source is here.
| sourceroot: /src/linux/$v/
| srcrootname: Linux
...
| # The database files go here.
| dbdir: /src/lxr/source/$v/

What lxr needs to display source codes are
"xref" and "fileref" files.  Lxr seeks thoese files in $dbdir, *NOT* in $sourceroot.
This is the heart of the puzzle and confusing part.

So please check your $dbdir.  If you successfully
put xref and fileref files there, then you can
"browse the codes". :-)

Hi Toshiharu-san,
I've got the key point of this problem.
That is, apache server has no priviledge to access the directory.

We need to put the source to somewhere apache can refer.
